HP 17 business laptop with Intel Core i3-N305
This 17.3-inch HP business laptop runs on an Intel Core i3-N305 processor with 16GB of memory and a 2TB PCIe NVMe M.2 solid state drive. It ships with Windows 11 Pro installed and is aimed at office workers and students who need a large screen for spreadsheets, documents and video calls. The integrated AMD Radeon graphics handle everyday visual tasks without a discrete card.
Silver chassis with HD+ display and 45-watt charger
The non-touch HD+ panel shows 1600 x 900 resolution across a 17.3-inch diagonal. A 3-cell 45WHr battery pairs with the included 45-watt AC adapter for daily charging. Connectivity includes two USB-A 3.0 ports, one USB-C 3.0 port, HDMI 1.4, a headphone jack and a microphone input, plus 802.11 wireless and Bluetooth. The standard keyboard lacks backlighting and there is no fingerprint reader.

The single HDMI 1.4 output limits external monitors to one display at 1080p resolution. Only one USB-C 3.0 port is available, so hubs or docks may be required for multiple accessories. The 4.58 lb weight and 15.78 x 10.15 x 0.78 inch footprint demand a bag that fits a 17-inch chassis. Buyers who want more storage, a backlit keyboard, a fingerprint reader or a second video output should consider other models.

Questions about this item
What does the HDMI 1.4 port cap at for external displays?
The HDMI 1.4 output supports up to 4K resolution at 30 Hz, so higher refresh rates at 4K are not possible through this port.
What are the exact dimensions and weight for a bag or sleeve?
The chassis measures 15.78 x 10.15 x 0.78 inches and weighs 4.58 lbs, so choose a 17.3-inch sleeve with at least that depth.
How is Windows 11 Pro activated on first boot, and what step do people miss?
Connect to Wi-Fi during the out-of-box experience so the digital licence binds to the hardware; skipping the network screen leaves the OS unactivated.
