HP 17 Touchscreen Laptop 32GB 2TB SSD - Business Power

Our review of the HP 17 touchscreen laptop finds it best suited to professionals and power users who need a large display and snappy multitasking. With a 17.3 in HD+ touchscreen, a 13th generation Intel Core i7 (10 cores, 12 threads, up to 5.0 GHz) and a generous 32GB of DDR4 RAM paired with a 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD, the machine delivers day-to-day responsiveness and room for heavy projects. The inclusion of Windows 11 Pro and lifetime Microsoft Office makes it work-ready for business users, while the 10-key backlit keyboard and webcam extras round out a practical, productivity-focused package.

Key Features

• Large touch display: The 17.3 in HD+ BrightView touchscreen gives more workspace for spreadsheets, multiple windows, and detailed previews.
• High performance CPU: The Intel Core i7 with up to 5.0 GHz and 10 cores provides headroom for compiling code, video editing, and heavier multitasking.
• Ample memory: 32GB DDR4 RAM keeps many apps and browser tabs responsive without frequent swapping.
• Fast storage: The 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD boots quickly and loads large files fast, with an additional 512GB docking station for expanded capacity.
• Business-ready software: Windows 11 Pro and lifetime Microsoft Office are included for enterprise features and productivity out of the box.
• Connectivity and accessories: Built-in Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C, dual USB-A, HDMI and a premium accessory suite provide flexible docking and network options.

Who It's For

This HP 17 is a good fit for small business owners, remote professionals, content creators, and students who prefer a larger screen for multitasking and productivity. The combination of a big touchscreen, strong CPU, and 32GB of RAM suits users who run virtual machines, edit video, or keep dozens of browser tabs and applications open at once.

Users who prioritize extreme portability or long battery life over screen size and raw power should look elsewhere; this is a traditional 17.3 in laptop designed more for desktop-replacement performance than for ultra-light travel. Gamers seeking the latest dedicated GPU hardware should also consider a system with a discrete graphics card.
