HP Essential 17t-cn300 17.3" Touch i7-1355U 16GB 512GB Silver

17.3" touch laptop for everyday work

The HP Essential 17t-cn300 is a 17.3-inch HD+ touchscreen laptop built around an Intel Core i7-1355U processor with 10 cores and 12 threads. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4-3200 memory and a 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, running Windows 11 Home. Integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics drive the 1600 x 900 BrightView panel at 250 nits, and a 720p HP Wide Vision camera handles video calls.

Home users and students wanting a large touch

This configuration suits buyers who want a big touch screen for web browsing, document editing and media consumption in a silver chassis that weighs 3.86 lbs. It is not for gamers or creators who need discrete graphics, nor for users who require more than 16 GB of memory or more than 512 GB of storage out of the box. Buyers needing a higher-resolution panel or additional ports beyond the standard set should look elsewhere.

16 GB DDR4-3200 soldered memory

The laptop provides 16 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, and the platform supports up to 64 GB total, but the supplied modules are not user-replaceable. If your workflow demands memory upgrades after purchase, this specification makes the unit unsuitable. The 512 GB NVMe SSD uses an M.2 slot, so storage can be expanded later if needed.
