The HP Essential 17t-cn300 is a big-screen desktop replacement: a 17.3-inch HD+ touchscreen, a 10-core Intel Core i7-1355U, 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD. It stands out for the large display, full number pad and backlit keyboard, which make spreadsheet and document work comfortable. It is not a light or powerful graphics machine: the 1600x900 panel is low resolution for its size, and Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics limits gaming and heavy creative work. It suits home and office users who want screen space and storage over portability, and it undercuts premium 17-inch rivals on specs per dollar while feeling more plasticky and heavier than they do.

Owner feedback on the Essential 17t line is mixed. People like the large screen, comfortable keyboard and strong everyday speed, but many find the low-resolution display and plastic build disappointing for the size.
