HP 17.3" HD+ Laptop i3-N305 8GB 256GB SSD Windows 11 Pro Silver

Large business laptop

The HP 17.3 inch HD+ laptop pairs an 8-core Intel Core i3-N305 processor with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed, Intel UHD Graphics handles the display output, and the anti-glare panel runs at 1600 by 900 resolution with 250 nits brightness. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6, wired LAN, HDMI 1.4, USB-C 3.0 and two USB-A 3.0 ports. A 720p webcam, stereo speakers and a three-cell polymer battery complete the package.

Office workers not gamers

The 8-core design and fast SSD suit multi-window productivity, video calls and browser-based workflows that benefit from the larger screen. Buyers who want a touchscreen, a backlit keyboard or a discrete graphics engine for rendering or modern gaming should look elsewhere. The 60 percent NTSC colour gamut and integrated graphics also limit colour-critical creative work.

8GB soldered memory

The system ships with 8GB of DDR4-3200 memory that cannot be upgraded after purchase, so the RAM capacity is fixed for the life of the device..storage slot uses a PCIe Gen 4 NVMe interface, allowing the 256GB drive to be swapped for a larger module if more local space is needed later.
