So far so good!
My husband needed a new laptop as he has been getting more into creating music and his old one was not handling it well. We did a lot of research and first ordered one directly from Dell, but within a few hours of use my husband realized it was not working out for his needs to we returned it. We did more research and went with this one. He’s been using it for about 2-3 weeks now (and he uses it for several hours daily doing the music programs, playing games, streaming shows/movies, browsing the internet, etc. – he’s one of those people who always has several things open at once) and he has not had any problems with it. At this point we’re happy with the purchase and hope it lasts him for a good while!

Decent laptop, at a good price.
My parents loved it and it does everything they needed it for (banking, surfing the web, etc.) I set it up for them, it does come with some bloat but it can easily be removed for a smoother experience. Nice big readable screen and comfortable keyboard. Would recommend for your average user.

I jumped the gun in reaching to the vendor about some of the specs for this laptop. I did some searching about the processor, etc. and it turned out to be good in the various items I looked at. Moving out of Windows S mode was a piece of cake. This was a present for a friend. Their happy once again.

Easy to set up, fast, zero complaints!
I’ve been trying to separate my work computer equipment from home and that is where this comes in. I am really impressed!It took almost nothing to set up. I could live without the Microsoft takeover attempts (am not an Edge fan) but it’s easy enough to set up defaults. I had no problem connecting to our wifi and it happily moves between wifi signals if I want it to. This almost seems faster than my work computer, which is amazing and good!Here’s the really fantastic thing. I really don’t like typing on laptops and I really don’t like touchpads. Just to experiment, I am using the keyboard on the laptop and the touchpad and it is working out great! I’m not accidentally putting my wrist on the touchpad and I have no problems at all moving around the screen. The keyboard on this laptop is responsive and is easy to type on. The keys feel good (it’s a thing with me) and no matter how fast I get going, I haven’t typo’d.I’ve watched a few videos and it’s great, no lag time if I’m streaming.I am really happy with this computer. HP did a great job with this one!!!!

Fantastic large screen HP Laptop
I am very happy with my new HP laptop, first impressions were very good – as I really appreciate the sustainable, low environmental impact packaging. The packaging worked great, the laptop arrived safe and sound without the need for a bunch of styrofoam packing inserts.The laptop itself is well built, and well equipped (16GB of RAM isn’t incredible but it is definitely sufficient for most home/business users). It boots up super fast, the 17 inch screen feels massive, and looks great (bright, crispy and low glare). As far as performance the laptop was able to handle everything we threw at it. It works great for watching online video, web surfing and my son’s had no problem playing a variety of PC games via steam. The keyboard action feels great while typing, and I had no problem acclimating to the button layout.Overall: Another impressive HP laptop, with excellent performance at a fantastic price! Highly recommended for those looking for a large screen laptop for your home or office use. Especially great for streaming movies (nice big screen but still very portable). 5-stars!

Nice big-screen laptop
Laptops with big screens are a bit unusual anymore. Most people target 15.6″ screens so that’s what you usually see. I needed a new laptop and prefer larger screens so I picked this one up. And I’m pretty pleased with it.Performance is good. The Ryzen CPU is powerful enough for everyday tasks and the included graphics are good enough for light gaming. Don’t buy this to be a gaming rig but you can emulate old systems or play stuff like Stardew, no problem.16 gigs of RAM is nice but it could have used a little more than the included 512 gig SSD. That’s a touch small when that’s all your storage.Screen is decent, not amazing, but does the job. Could be brighter.Overall, for everyday use, I’m pleased.

Really like this laptop and for the price it’s amazing. Super crisp and clean . Pretty fast and performs pretty well under stress. I am not a power user or gamer by any stretch but when I pushed it still produced pretty good. Aesthetically it looks super clean , keep in mind it’s pretty big , not bulky just big .

decent performance for mid range laptop
the laptop deliver a decent performance , no lagging or freezing while multitasking , the wide 17″ is great for work and play , and it comes 16 GBs of memory, and 512 GB NVMe SSD , it can handle my work load easily , the battery will keep you working for couple of hours.I wish it had more storage , and Windows 11 pro instead of home edition.

Good Mid-Range Laptop with Large Display
I was interested in finding a moderately priced laptop with a larger screen for my mother who values visibility over portability. This meets that need.16GB RAM and 512 GB SSD drive is enough memory for her general use. Camera is user-friendly and good quality for chatting with the grandkids. Plus a privacy shutter for when she’s not video chatting.Elevated keyboard is easy to use, although some of the keyboard placement is not intuitive.All in all, a good general laptop for everyday use.

Great Huge Laptop
I like this laptop’s real estate. It is massive, bright, and perfect for my at home use. I am in an online program and my 14” laptop was beginning to be cumbersome. I love this size because I am able to open plenty of windows side by side. I don’t think I would travel with this laptop tho, it’s wayyyyy too big. But it is perfect for at home use while still having the freedom to move about and not being stuck at the desk. I aestheticized my home computer…. because as a 30 year old woman, I could never be caught seen in public with all these cutesy wallpaper and stickers.

It’s a powerful and versatile machine that’s perfect for both work and play. I’ll update my review once I’ve had a chance to test its gaming performance.

Solid laptop
I have been wanting a laptop to take on trips in order to RDP to my servers using Citrix Workspace and this fits the bill especially with the large 17.3 inch screen. My work laptop is a 15 inch, and the 2 extra inches is nice. This is also lighter than my work laptop. For the past four days I used this for work, I sat at a desk for half the time and couch or bed the other half. At no time while on the couch or bed did I feel it got too hot for my legs. The battery was averaging 6 hrs of constant use. The sound was decent for a laptop. I won’t go over specs as they are already available.It took around 40 minutes to get logged in and completely setup and I added Chrome, Office XP, Teams, Citrix and used my PC onedrive image of my desktop. Once all logged in, I shut off the PC and did 3 boot up tests, booting in 23 seconds. I then did dl/ul tests connecting to Ookla, I have TMobile home internet, scored 683 dl/57 ul wirelessly connected. For reference, my PC has never gotten above 540/50. I installed Filmora to edit a few drone videos, I don’t do heavy editing, but this laptop handled exporting my edited videos in maybe 2 minutes slower than my 7950x3d.I do not plan on using this for any gaming, but for giggles I tried it. I installed WorldOfTanks and played 5 games. I ran 3 games full screen and two windowed. I ran at “low” graphics” I believe minimal is one step lower. I was averaging 65-70 fps (pic) and pinging 75ms (normal ping for me). As you can see in the AMD performance pic, I was maxing the GPU, but the CPU was running 10-15% and memory was running around 50%. I was impressed. The game ran smoothly at that with no frame drops, I did have a couple latency hiccups but that is normal for my PC as well. After my game session I tested for heat temps. The left middle was the hottest @ 95F which is very reasonable. I included several pics to show my findings.Overall, I think it’s a solid laptop that is perfect for work/casual usage and can be used for non-demanding games.

Huge display, but thin & light; a weak GPU, but otherwise excellent performance
The quick summary is that this is an excellent big-display, lightweight, business/coding laptop, but it is not tuned for gaming. Details follow…This laptop comes with a single-page somewhat generic instruction sheet and an AC adapter. It is the absolute bare minimum documentation, but it is enough to get you started. After charging the laptop, you need an internet connection and about half an hour to complete the initial configuration of Windows. Once the basic Windows 11 system was configured, I tried asking the AI-enhanced Microsoft Edge browser how to install and configure some additional open-source software and it kept giving me directions for how to do those things with Windows 10 — directions that mostly don’t work on Windows 11. Fortunately, ordinary internet searches found valid answers…The AMD Ryzen 5 7520U processor is relatively fast, with four cores (eight threads) normally running at 2795MHz. 16GB RAM is enough for most business and/or programming uses. The 512GB SSD is fast and big enough for most purposes although it’s easy to fill if you work with a lot of high-resolution images and/or video — it is best to think of the SSD as workspace for images and videos you will archive elsewhere when done editing. The built-in Radeon GPU handles business graphics and image and video editing nicely, and is OK for accelerating some AI processing, but it isn’t up to running high-end 3D games at full resolution.The screen itself is huge, with a diagonal of 17.3″ for the active area. Initially, I was a bit concerned that the 1920×1080 resolution might look a little coarse because I’m used to a laptop with a 4K 16.5″ display. However, this laptop’s display has a nice matte finish, which avoids the reflections seen with my older laptop’s 4K screen, is visible from wide viewing angles (see photo), and the resolution difference isn’t obvious from a normal viewing distance. This display is particularly well-suited for giving presentations to small groups or watching videos. When I’m coding or writing research papers, I like to have two full pages of text side-by-side on the display, and that also works fine for this laptop. I had no problems while using my Ubuntu Linux-based software development environment on this laptop under Windows WSL (note that Ubuntu for WSL is a free install available from Microsoft’s App Store).The keyboard is slightly recessed but has a good feel. The touchpad is also large and works well. I had no problems with the WiFi or other interfaces. The built-in webcam works fine with Zoom and just about any webcam software (it supports the driverless UVC protocol), but the image quality is a little disappointing, especially in poor lighting. On the other hand, I have to complement HP on the very well-thought-out sliding privacy cover integrated into the webcam.Physically, despite the huge display, this unit is quite thin and weighs a little under 4.5 pounds — a weight you’d expect to reach only with a smaller screen. The metal case looks nice and doesn’t feel flimsy, but I’d be a bit concerned that it could easily get scratched, so you might want to put it in a laptop sleeve before throwing it in your backpack. The included AC adapter is also small enough to carry easily, although you’ll want to carry it on trips because it uses a power plug like older HP laptops rather than a generic USB C charger input. Battery life seems very good, as you’d expect for a TDP 15W processor, although it’s hard to quote a typical runtime because there are so many power management options. Incidentally, the power button is the function key sixth from the right on the keyboard — I had to read their one-page instruction sheet to find the power button. ;-)In sum, I highly recommend this laptop for business and/or programming use. The desktop computers I use all have 4K 43″ displays, so I’m used to the benefits of seeing lots of stuff on the display all at once; this 17.3″ display comes much closer to that experience than most laptops without sacrificing portability, performance, or battery life. The main downsides are the relatively weak GPU and the fact that none of the hardware is trivially upgradeable.

Good quality Laptop
I ordered the HP 17.3″ laptop for home office use, and I am extremely happy the overall performance. This laptop is user friendly, has plenty of power, ample storage, and has excellent graphics.These are my favorite features of this laptop:- The computer boots right up and has no issues with latency. While I wouldn’t go as far as classifying this as a gaming computer, it does perform well when it comes to Teams calls, watching Netflix, browsing on the internet, and everything in between.- The speakers are crystal clear and the camera produces high quality video. I’m on a lot of Teams calls throughout the day, and I am very pleased with the overall performance of the audio and video. It’s also nice that the camera has a built in shutter to ensure privacy while not on a call. The shutter has a white screen when it is closed, making it easy to identify when the shutter is open or closed.- I really appreciate the size of the keyboard and the screen. That has always been one of the pitfalls of using a laptop for me. I don’t like working on smaller screens, especially since I am used to having two screens on my desktop computer. The larger screen makes it so much easier to multi-task and work with spreadsheets. Same goes for the keyboard. It is very comparable to my desktop keyboard, so it is easy to go from one or the other and not feel like I am learning to type all over again.I wouldn’t give it a second thought if you are considering purchasing the HP 17.3″ laptop. It is a high performance and good quality laptop that works exactly as described. Highly recommend.

Serviceable computer for basic use
Even before this computer arrived, I was impressed by its specs relative to price. I love the AMD Ryzen series and have installed one of their CPUs in the last half dozen or so computers I’ve built. The AMD Radeon graphics is pretty good for an integrated solution but just can’t deliver the goods like a discrete GPU. Then again, you could add a good chunk of change to the price of this laptop were you to add a GPU.I don’t really like the trend toward LPDDR5 RAM. I understand the upside it has in a laptop but don’t like the way it precludes upgrading. That said, 16 GB and a 512 SSD drive is enough for general use. The webcam is fine–particularly for a consumer audience. It’s really offers solid specs and performance at the price point.Kudos to HP for not going overboard with bloatware and other useless apps. On the other hand, the experience of installing and using Windows is as miserable as ever. One of the great things about Ubuntu (the OS of choice on my laptop and desktop) is that it doesn’t try to sell me something every time I turn on my PC. Making the Windows 11 experience even worse is the difficulty in configuring the UI. The first thing I did was try and remove the news feed and other useless feeds. It took several attempts and three restarts. The fact that MSFT makes it so hard to configure my own operating system is absurd. It’s even more absurd that Windows makes it so difficult for a large audience of general consumer users. If a ‘power user’ with plenty of tech knowledge such as myself has to jump through endless hoops just to make the OS look and act the way I want to I can only imagine how ‘average users’ feel.All of the bloatware and other nonsense that comes with Windows 11 is a shame since the OS itself is IMO the best they’ve released since WinXP. If you’re fairly tech savvy there’s ways to significantly reduce or eliminate the bloatware, the burdensome resource overhead and the endless sales pitches but they definitely don’t make it easy for the end user.Ultimately, however, the hardware isn’t the OS–even if the OS drives the user experience. Generally, when I review a computer I can immediately name a good ‘target market’ that should consider it. This one isn’t so easy. Most average users don’t need a 17″ screen anymore. With smaller bezels and better display quality you can get the same visual experience with a 16″ or smaller device. I’ve seen 14″ devices with more actual screen space than the 15″ laptops of just a few years ago. A secondary problem with such a big screen is that it makes the laptop bulky. The weight isn’t so much the problem as the heft due to the overall size. My primary laptop is a 15″ but I also have a 16″ device that I use for some content creation tasks. I was amazed at how much bulkier the 17″ laptop feels even though given the comparable size it probably shouldn’t.One market segment that can benefit from a larger screen is gaming enthusiasts but the lack of a discrete GPU and lack of RAM upgrade possibilities doesn’t lend itself to this demographic. It might be a decent desktop replacement for office use, assuming mostly basic tasks. For example, my mom is a real estate agent and the overwhelming majority of her computer work is emails, research, taking notes, etc. These specs would be great for her as would the bigger screen. She doesn’t need to drive around all day carrying her laptop and it spends 90+ percent of the time on her desk. That makes the overall heft of the HP laptop a non-issue.Of course, my inability to come up with good ‘target markets’ for this laptop doesn’t really matter. If you like the larger screen (with the corresponding larger form factor) and don’t need any heavy duty speed or processing power this is a great choice–particularly at the price point. The price point also makes it a good choice for a teenager who just wants to watch videos and email, or a parent/relative that would benefit from a larger screen and doesn’t need ‘bleeding edge’ tech capability, etc. Overall, a great price for impressive specs in a very servicable laptop.
