HP 17.3" Touchscreen Laptop (2024) vs HP 17 Touchscreen Laptop

Buy the 2024 17.3-inch model if you want a laptop that stays usable for years: 16 GB RAM, a 1 TB SSD and a 64 GB ceiling mean no immediate upgrades. The 17 Touchscreen is the lighter, simpler pick for web, email and documents, but 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage fill up fast and cap at 32 GB. Both share the same 17.3-inch 1600 x 900 anti-glare panel, so the screen is not the deciding factor.

• Choose the 2024 17.3-inch model if you keep many browser tabs open, store large files locally, or want room to add RAM later.
• Choose the 17 Touchscreen if your work is light and you want the lighter of the two with a full-size keyboard and number pad.
