HP 17.3 Laptop i5-8250U 16GB 500GB NVMe + 1TB SSD 17.3" HD+ DVD Silver

17.3-inch business laptop with dual storage

The HP 17.3 notebook combines a quad-core Intel Core i5 processor with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a hybrid drive layout of 500 GB NVMe plus 1 TB SSD. It ships with Windows 10 Home and includes a built-in DVD+-RW burner. The 1600 x 900 HD+ display is non-touch and suited to office applications and streaming media.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your workflow runs on Windows 10 Home and that any required peripherals connect via standard USB or HDMI ports. The system uses shared graphics memory on Intel UHD Graphics 620, so confirm that your software does not demand dedicated video memory. Ensure the 17.3-inch form factor fits your bag or workspace and that the non-touch screen meets your interaction needs.

Behaviour under sustained load

The processor operates at a base speed with turbo up to 3.4 GHz on the i5-8250U variant and 4.2 GHz on the i5-10210U variant, while the integrated UHD 620 relies on system RAM for video memory. During extended sessions the shared memory architecture and single-fan thermal design may throttle clock speeds to manage heat. The dual SSD arrangement keeps read and write performance consistent for long file transfers, but heavy multi-tasking will be limited by the 16 GB memory ceiling and integrated graphics.
