Is the HP Essential 17.3 good for everyday use?

Yes for browsing, email, video and documents. The N100 and 8 GB of RAM are not suited to gaming, video editing or many open heavy apps.

Is 128 GB enough storage?

It is tight. Windows and updates take a large share, so plan on cloud storage or an external drive for photos and files.

Yes. Both are listed, along with an anti-glare touchscreen and an HDMI port.

1600 x 900 is on the low side at this size, so text and images look less sharp than on a 1080p panel.
