The HP 17 (2024) has a physical footprint of 400 mm wide by 257 mm deep, with a thickness of just 20 mm and a total volume of 2056 cm³. It weighs 2086 g, which is a typical figure for a large-screen laptop of this size. The system uses an active cooling design rather than a fanless approach, and it does not include a backlit keyboard or weather sealing. The laptop comes with a one-year warranty.
The HP 17 (2024) features a 17.3-inch display with a 1600 x 900 resolution, yielding a pixel density of 106 ppi, and operates at a standard 60Hz refresh rate. Typical brightness is rated at 250 nits, and the panel includes an anti-reflection coating to help reduce glare in ambient lighting conditions. The screen does not support touch input, and the system is capable of driving up to four displays simultaneously.
The HP 17 (2024) is equipped with 8GB of DDR4 RAM running at 3200 MHz, with the system supporting a maximum memory capacity of 96GB. The CPU runs at a base speed of 4 x 1.2 GHz and 2 x 0.9 GHz across its 8 threads, reaching a turbo clock speed of 4.7GHz, though it does not use multithreading technology. Storage comes in the form of a 256GB NVMe SSD over a PCIe 4 interface, built on a 10 nm semiconductor process. The integrated GPU reaches a turbo frequency of 1250 MHz, and the processor fully supports 64-bit computing.
In CPU benchmark testing, the HP 17 (2024) achieves a PassMark multi-core score of 13,934, while its single-core PassMark result comes in at 3,679, reflecting the processor's per-core throughput capacity.
The HP 17 (2024) offers a practical set of wired and wireless connectivity options. For USB, it includes one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports; there are no USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 4, Thunderbolt 3, or Thunderbolt 4 ports. Video output is handled by one HDMI 1.4 port and one DisplayPort, while VGA and mini DisplayPort are absent. The laptop does not include an RJ45 Ethernet port or an external memory card slot. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) along with Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, paired with Bluetooth 5.3, and the system also supports AirPlay.
The HP 17 (2024) includes sleep-and-charge USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is powered off or in sleep mode. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.
The HP 17 (2024) includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and a dual-microphone setup, though it does not feature Dolby Atmos or an S/PDIF output. A front-facing camera is built in, while biometric options such as a fingerprint scanner and 3D facial recognition are absent, and voice commands are not supported. The laptop does not come with a stylus. On the sensor and navigation side, it lacks a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS, and there is no optical disc drive included.
The HP 17 (2024) is powered by a laptop-class CPU using big.LITTLE technology, with a clock multiplier of 12, a 15W TDP, and a maximum operating temperature of 100°C. The multiplier is locked, and the processor supports a broad set of instruction sets including MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, along with NX bit support. It features 10 MB of L3 cache and operates across two memory channels, with a maximum supported RAM speed of 5200 MHz; ECC memory is not supported. Graphics are handled by the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 64EU, which carries 64 execution units and supports OpenCL 3 and OpenGL 4.6.
