HP 17 laptop Ultra 7-255U 16GB DDR5 2TB 17.3" touchscreen Silver

17.3-inch touchscreen laptop

The HP 17 laptop combines a 17.3-inch HD+ touchscreen with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255U processor, 16GB DDR5 memory and a 2TB PCIe SSD. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed. The silver chassis weighs 4.6 lb and measures 15.75 by 10.25 by 0.75 inches. A fingerprint reader and Wi-Fi 6 are included.

Suited to office work and media viewing

The 12-core processor with two performance cores handles multitasking and productivity applications. The 1600 x 900 touchscreen supports direct interaction for presentations or casual use. Integrated Intel Graphics and the HD+ panel are not intended for demanding 3D rendering, high-refresh gaming or colour-critical professional workflows. Buyers who need a higher-resolution display, discrete graphics or a backlit keyboard should consider other models.

Sustained-load behaviour

Under continuous load the Ultra 7 255U can reach up to 5.2 GHz across its 12 cores and 14 threads. The integrated graphics share system memory, so extended GPU-heavy tasks draw from the 16GB DDR5 4800 pool. Thermal design in the slim 0.75-inch chassis manages heat for typical productivity bursts, but prolonged heavy compute may trigger frequency scaling. The 2TB SSD provides consistent storage throughput without a separate mechanical drive.
