HP 17.3 in HD+ Business Laptop - Large Display Productivity

In this review of the HP 17.3 in HD+ Business Laptop the bottom line is simple: this is a productivity-first machine for users who need a large screen and heavy multitasking without stepping up to a workstation. The combination of a 17.3 in BrightView HD+ display and an upgraded 64GB of RAM paired with a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD makes it especially well suited to users who run many apps and browser tabs concurrently. The review focuses on real-world business use: handling spreadsheets, virtual meetings and multi-app workflows on Windows 11 Pro.

Key Features

• 17.3 in HD+ display: A 17.3 in diagonal, 1600 x 900 BrightView panel gives extra screen real estate for spreadsheets and split-screen work without moving to an external monitor.
• 13th Gen Intel Core i5: The i5-1334U with up to 4.6 GHz, 10 cores and 12 threads provides responsive performance for business applications and light content creation.
• 64GB high-speed RAM: The large DDR4-3200 RAM upgrade keeps many applications and browser tabs open at once with minimal swapping or slowdowns.
• 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD: A roomy and fast 1TB M.2 SSD delivers quick boot and application load times plus plenty of local storage for documents and media.
• Windows 11 Pro and webcam: Windows 11 Pro is business-oriented and the HP True Vision 720p HD camera with dual-array microphones handles video calls clearly.
• Connectivity and ports: Built-in Realtek Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 with HDMI 1.4b, USB-C (data) and multiple USB-A ports cover common peripherals and networking needs.

Who It's For

The HP 17.3 in laptop is aimed at business users, remote workers and students who value a larger screen and the ability to keep many programs open. The large display and numeric keypad are practical for accountants, analysts and anyone who edits spreadsheets or does long sessions of data entry.

It is less well suited for travelers who need a lightweight ultraportable or for professional video editors who demand a higher resolution display and discrete graphics. Gamers and GPU-heavy creators should look for a model with dedicated graphics and a higher-brightness, higher-resolution panel.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Large 17.3 in display and full-size keyboard with numeric keypad improve productivity for office tasks.

• 13th Gen Intel Core i5 and Iris Xe integrated graphics handle business workloads and light media tasks efficiently.
• Windows 11 Pro, Wi-Fi 6 and modern connectivity keep the system current for enterprise use.

Cons

• The HD+ 1600 x 900 resolution and 250 nits brightness are adequate but not ideal for color-critical work or very bright environments.
• USB-C port supports data only and does not support charging or external displays, which reduces docking flexibility.
