HP 17 laptop Core i3-N305 16GB 512GB SSD 17.3" HD+ Silver

Large display everyday laptop

The HP 17 laptop uses a 17.3 inch HD+ panel with a 1600 x 900 resolution, anti-glare coating and 250 nits brightness. An Intel Core i3-N305 processor with eight cores runs at a 1.00 GHz base frequency and reaches 3.8 GHz turbo. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics, 16 GB DDR4 memory and a 512 GB PCIe SSD complete the platform.

Students and office workers needing screen space

The 17.3 inch format suits users who keep multiple documents or browser windows visible at once. The 1600 x 900 resolution and integrated graphics are not intended for creative colour work, gaming or external 4K output. Buyers who want a backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader or SD card reader should look at something else.

Eight-core N-series processor

The Intel Core i3-N305 provides eight cores with a 3.8 GHz maximum turbo frequency and 6 MB cache. This CPU decides whether the laptop handles typical web, streaming and office workloads smoothly. If a workload demands discrete graphics or higher sustained multi-core speeds, this processor will not meet the requirement.
