Most people can’t justify spending over $3,000 on a laptop, even if they desperately need a bigger screen for spreadsheets, video calls and multitasking across multiple windows. These premium business machines usually stay out of reach, reserved for corporate budgets and lucky pros with generous tech allowances.
Amazon just changed the game by slashing this HP 17-inch powerhouse from $3,599 down to $1,029, delivering a 71% discount that feels like Christmas arrived months early. This deal moves a laptop packed with 64GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD into territory where most people can actually afford it without maxing out credit cards.

A Desktop Replacement That Fits Your Budget
The AMD Ryzen 5 7430U processor in this machine cranks up to 4.3GHz across six cores, giving you enough processing muscle to handle demanding spreadsheets, multiple browser tabs, and video streaming all at the same time. Those six cores split workloads intelligently, dedicating processing power where you need it most while managing background tasks efficiently. Integrated Radeon Graphics handle everything from PowerPoint presentations to casual gaming and video editing without the need for a dedicated graphics card, which would ramp up the price further.
The 17.3-inch HD+ touchscreen boasts 1600×900 resolution for significantly more workspace than you’d get from the standard 15-inch laptops that make you constantly switch between windows. This additional screen real estate revolutionizes the way you’re working with documents and spreadsheets, letting you see two pages side by side or keep reference materials visible while you draft emails.
An anti-glare coating reduces eye strain while working long hours under office lights or near windows, and touch functionality lets you navigate with natural gestures like pinching to zoom and swiping between apps. You can tap your way through presentations during meetings or scroll through research papers with your finger, and interactions will feel more intuitive than reaching for a trackpad all the time.
The webcam of the HP True Vision 720p camera has a physical privacy shutter that slides shut when one wants guaranteed off-camera status without paranoia about whether video software actually went off. AI Noise Reduction filters background chatter in coffee shops, keyboard typing sounds, and ambient noise that normally ruins video calls to make your voice clear and professional.
HP Fast Charge technology pushes the battery to 50% capacity in about 45 minutes, which means a quick charging session between classes or meetings gives you hours of untethered productivity. Under optimum conditions, the battery delivers upwards of nine hours of video playback to cover a full workday of up to long study sessions without hunting for outlets. A dedicated Copilot key launches Microsoft’s AI assistant instantaneously for drafting emails, summarizing documents, and generating quick answers to research questions. Windows 11 Pro adds in some enterprise features not found in the home edition, such as BitLocker encryption and Remote Desktop, and advanced security tools to safeguard sensitive work files.
For $1,029, you’re getting specifications that would normally see you paying upwards of triple the asking price.
