- Is the 32 GB of RAM worth it over 8 GB or 16 GB?
- Yes if you keep many tabs, large spreadsheets or several apps open at once. For plain browsing and email, 8 GB or 16 GB would feel similar and cost less.
- Can it handle gaming or video editing?
- Only light, older games on low settings. The UHD Graphics 630 is integrated, so modern games and 4K editing will be slow; it suits office work and streaming instead.
- Is the screen good for watching movies?
- The 17.3-inch Full HD IPS panel gives wide viewing angles and a big picture. Colors are decent for the class, though it is not a high-brightness or wide-gamut display.
- How does it compare with a 15.6-inch laptop?
- It gives a noticeably larger screen and a number pad, but it is heavier and harder to carry. Choose it for a desk; choose a 15.6-inch model for portability.
- Does it have a backlit keyboard or fingerprint reader?
- No. The keyboard is not backlit and there is no fingerprint reader or facial recognition, so you sign in with a password or PIN.
- What ports does it have?
- USB-A, USB-C and HDMI, plus Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 6. There is no optical drive, SIM slot or NFC.
- Where is the HP 17.3-inch Full HD IPS Intel Core i3 32 GB 512 GB SSD Laptop cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $849.79, as of our latest check.
