HP 17.3 laptop Intel Core 5 120U 10-core 16GB 1TB SSD Black

Everyday laptop for home and study

This 17.3 inch HP laptop runs Windows 11 Home on an Intel Core 5 120U processor with 10 cores and a 5.00GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 3200 memory in two 8GB modules and a 1TB PCIe SSD. The HD+ display shows 1600 x 900 resolution at 60Hz, and integrated Intel Graphics handles visual output. A dedicated Copilot key provides quick access to AI assistance.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 10-core processor maintains up to 5.00GHz turbo frequency across its 12 threads for multitasking, streaming and light content editing. Dual-channel DDR4 3200 memory feeds the integrated graphics and CPU without a discrete GPU bottleneck. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 keep network latency low during video calls or cloud sync. The single fan design manages thermals within the slim 0.81 inch chassis during extended sessions.

Build, ports and daily use

The black chassis measures 15.78 x 10.15 x 0.81 inches and weighs 4.60 lbs, balancing screen size with portability. A full-size keyboard includes a numeric keypad for spreadsheet work. Ports comprise one USB Type-C, two USB Type-A, one HDMI 1.4b and a headphone/microphone combo jack. The webcam features a physical privacy shutter, while dual-array microphones and dual speakers support clear conferencing. Both memory slots are populated, leaving no free slots for expansion without replacement.
