The HP Essential 17.3 is a big-screen budget laptop built around a 13th-gen Intel Core i5-1334U, 8GB of DDR4 and a 256GB NVMe SSD. The 17.3-inch HD+ panel is the draw: a large, anti-glare screen for desk work, spreadsheets and video, though its 1600 x 900 resolution is low for this size and looks soft next to 1080p rivals. The 8GB of RAM is soldered-class for everyday use and will strain under many browser tabs or heavy editing, and 256GB of storage fills quickly. It suits home and office users who want a roomy screen and decent speed and will trade portability and display sharpness for it.
