- Is 8 GB of RAM enough?
- For web browsing, email and office documents, yes. If you keep many tabs open or edit photos and video, plan to add a second memory module, since the laptop has a slot for it.
- Can it run games?
- Only light and older titles on low settings. The Iris Xe graphics have no dedicated video memory, so modern games and video editing will struggle.
- Does it have a number pad?
- Yes. The 17.3-inch chassis fits a full keyboard with a numeric keypad, which is the main reason to pick it over a 15.6-inch model.
- Is the screen good for outdoor use?
- The IPS panel has wide viewing angles and good color for the class, but brightness is average, so it is best indoors or in shade.
- Can I upgrade the storage and memory?
- Yes. The SSD and memory are accessible for upgrades, and adding a second RAM module is the most effective improvement.
- Does it come with Windows 11 Pro?
- Yes, Windows 11 Pro is preinstalled, which adds BitLocker and remote desktop over the Home edition.
- Where is the HP 17.3-inch FHD Laptop Intel Core i5-1335U 8 GB 512 GB PCIe SSD - Silver cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $669.00, as of our latest check.
