17.3-inch HD+ Windows 11 Pro laptop
The HP 17 laptop ships new with a 17.3-inch anti-glare HD+ display at 1600 x 900 resolution and 250 nits brightness. It runs Windows 11 Pro and includes an Office 2021 licence. An Intel Core i3-N305 processor with eight cores and a turbo frequency up to 3.8 GHz handles everyday workloads. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics drives the screen.
Suited to office work and study.
This configuration suits students, administrators and home users who need a large screen for documents, web browsing and video calls. The 32GB DDR4 memory and 512GB PCIe SSD provide responsive multitasking and fast boot times. Buyers who need a backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, SD card reader or a higher-colour-gamut panel for creative work should look elsewhere.
Sustained load on an 8-core N-series chip
Under continuous load the eight-core i3-N305 can maintain its 3.8 GHz turbo within the thermal limits of the 0.78-inch chassis. Intel UHD Graphics shares system memory, so extended 3D or video-encode tasks will throttle once the 32GB DDR4 pool is saturated. Fan noise rises but remains typical for a thin-and-light 17-inch class machine.
