Our take on the HP 17-inch Laptop Intel Core i3-N305 32GB RAM

This is HP's 17.3-inch budget laptop with an Intel Core i3-N305, 32GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, running Windows. The big screen and high memory count stand out at this price; the 1600 x 900 panel and 4 lb weight are the trade-offs. At $399.99 at Staples as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range across the three stores that list it new.

Questions and answers

Is 1600 x 900 sharp enough on a 17.3-inch screen?
It is usable for web, email and video, but text looks less crisp than on 1080p panels of the same size. If sharp text matters, look at a full-HD 17-inch model.

Yes. The listing specifies a touchscreen with an anti-glare finish.
What ports does it have?
USB-A, USB-C and HDMI, enough for a mouse, an external drive and a monitor without a hub.
Is $399.99 a good price?
It is the lowest new price among the three stores listing it, as of November 7, 2026. For a 17-inch laptop with 32GB of RAM, that is a low entry point.

About 4 lb, which is light for a 17-inch laptop but heavier than most 13- and 14-inch models.
