HP 17.3 Laptop i5-10210U 32GB 1TB NVMe + 2TB SSD Linux Mint

Ready-to-use Linux workstation

This HP 17.3 laptop ships with Linux Mint Cinnamon pre-installed, giving a familiar desktop environment without licence fees or driver hunting. The 17.3-inch HD+ display shows 1600 x 900 pixels on a non-touch panel, while the quad-core Intel Core i5-10210U reaches 3.4 GHz base turbo and 4.2 GHz maximum turbo for responsive multitasking. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a 1 TB PCIe NVMe drive plus a 2 TB storage SSD keep large projects and media libraries local.

Best for stationary productivity

The large screen and full keyboard suit office workers, students or developers who mainly use the machine at a desk and want plenty of RAM and dual-drive capacity. Mobile users who need a light chassis, long unplugged runtime or a high-resolution touch display should look elsewhere, as the 17.3-inch form factor and HD+ panel prioritise screen area over portability and pixel density. Gamers or creators requiring discrete graphics will not find the shared-memory Intel UHD Graphics 620 adequate for modern 3D workloads.

Desk-centric connectivity

Built-in Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth, an SD card reader and a DVD+-RW burner handle peripherals, wired networks and legacy media without extra dongles. The NVMe boot drive frees the 2 TB SSD for bulk storage, while 32 GB of DDR4 leaves headroom for virtual machines or heavy browser sessions. External monitors, docks or high-speed storage can be added through the standard USB and video ports present on the chassis.
