HP 17 , Celeron N4500, 4GB, 256GB SSD, Winter Lavender/Natural Silver
The Intel Celeron N4500 dual-core processor and 4GB RAM handle basic web browsing and document editing, while the 17.3-inch 1280x720 IPS display with 250 nits and anti-glare coating reduces reflections for outdoor use. The lift-hinge design tilts the keyboard for a more comfortable typing angle, and HP Fast Charge reaches 50% battery in 45 minutes. This laptop is best for a budget-conscious student or home user who needs a large screen for light productivity and media consumption without demanding performance.

Aperçu
The 30-Second Version
The HP 17-cn0513nr is a big-screen budget laptop with a fatal flaw: a Celeron N4500 and 4GB of RAM that rank dead last in our database. The 256GB SSD and 17.3-inch display are nice touches at $413 USD, but the weak CPU and low-res screen make this a one-task-at-a-time machine. It's fine for basic student work if you're on a strict budget. Anyone else should save up for something with at least 8GB of RAM and a better processor.

Les preuves
Performance
Let's talk about that Celeron N4500. It's a 2-core chip with a 1.1GHz base clock and a 2.8GHz turbo. In our database, it ranks dead last among laptop CPUs. That means even basic multitasking is going to feel sluggish. Opening a few Chrome tabs while Spotify runs in the background? Expect some stuttering. The 4GB of RAM makes this worse. Windows 11 alone wants a good chunk of that, leaving very little headroom for actual work.
The 256GB NVMe SSD is genuinely helpful here. It's not a huge drive, but it's fast enough to make boot times and app launches feel snappier than the CPU and RAM would suggest. One customer review mentioned quick boot-ups, both cold and warm, and that tracks. The SSD is doing a lot of heavy lifting to mask the weak processor. But once you're actually working, the CPU and RAM limits show up fast. This is a machine for one task at a time, not a multitasking workhorse.

vs Competition
The obvious comparison is the Apple MacBook Air M4, but that's a completely different universe. The MacBook Air costs several times more and delivers performance this HP can't dream of. Same story with the Lenovo Slim 7 and ASUS Vivobook Pro 15. Those are mid-range machines with real CPUs and proper displays. They're not competitors in the traditional sense, they're just what you'd get if you spent more.
A more realistic comparison is against other budget laptops in the $400 to $500 range. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition and Dell Latitude XPS 13 are both far more expensive, but they show what's possible when you prioritize build quality and performance. The HP 17's only real advantage is screen size. If you need a big display for reading or basic productivity and you're on a strict budget, this is one of the few options. But you're trading away almost everything else to get it.

Prix
Value & Pricing
At $413 USD, this laptop is cheap. That's the whole pitch. Our affordability ranking puts it at 81st percentile, meaning it's more affordable than most laptops in our database. But cheap and good value are not the same thing. You're getting a 17.3-inch screen and a 256GB SSD, which is unusual at this price. You're also getting a processor and RAM configuration that will frustrate you within a year or two.
Compare that to spending $100 to $150 more on a machine with a Ryzen 3 or Core i3 and 8GB of RAM. The performance jump is massive, and the long-term usability is far better. If you absolutely cannot stretch your budget, this HP will technically work for basic tasks. But if you can save a little longer, do it. The Celeron N4500 is a false economy.

Overview
The HP 17-cn0513nr is a big-screen budget laptop that looks like it should do more than it actually can. A 17.3-inch display, a full keyboard with number pad, and Windows 11 Home for around $413 USD. On paper, that sounds like a decent deal for a student or someone who just needs a basic machine for email, documents, and streaming. But the specs tell a different story once you dig in.
This thing is built around an Intel Celeron N4500, a dual-core processor that sits at the very bottom of our CPU rankings. We're talking 1st percentile. That's not a typo. Paired with 4GB of DDR4 RAM, also 1st percentile, this laptop is going to struggle with anything beyond one or two browser tabs and a Word doc. The 256GB NVMe SSD is the one bright spot in the core specs, and it's still only 24th percentile for storage.
The target buyer here is pretty narrow. Someone who needs a large screen for basic tasks, doesn't mind waiting a beat for apps to open, and absolutely cannot spend more than $450. If that's you, keep reading. If you're hoping to game, edit photos, or run anything heavier than a spreadsheet, this is not your machine. The gaming score of 4.6 out of 100 should tell you everything you need to know.
Common Questions
Q: Can this laptop handle gaming?
Not really. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics and Celeron N4500 put this machine at 4.6 out of 100 for gaming in our database. You might get away with very light, older titles at low settings, but anything modern will struggle. One owner mentioned it runs the games they play at normal settings, but those are likely not demanding titles. If gaming matters at all, look for something with at least a Ryzen 5 or Core i5 and 8GB of RAM.
Q: Is 4GB of RAM enough for Windows 11?
Barely. Windows 11 officially lists 4GB as the minimum, but in practice it leaves very little room for apps. You'll be able to run a browser and a document editor, but multitasking will cause slowdowns. Our database ranks 4GB at the 1st percentile for laptops, which means almost every other machine has more memory. If you buy this, keep your expectations low and close background apps.
Q: How is the display quality?
The 17.3-inch panel is large, but the 1366x768 resolution is a weak spot. That's 7th percentile in our screen rankings. Text and images will look softer than on a 1080p display, especially at this size. The IPS panel and anti-glare coating help with viewing angles and reflections, but the low pixel density is noticeable. If you care about sharp text or photo viewing, this screen will disappoint.
Q: Does this laptop support external monitors?
It has one HDMI 1.4b port and one USB-C port, but one buyer reported it cannot drive two external monitors simultaneously. If you need a dual-monitor setup, this is a dealbreaker. The single HDMI port will work for one external display, but that's the limit. For multi-display productivity, you'd need a laptop with Thunderbolt or multiple video outputs.
Who Should Skip This
If you need to run anything beyond a web browser and basic office apps, skip this. The Celeron N4500 and 4GB of RAM will choke on photo editing, video calls with screen sharing, or more than a handful of browser tabs. Gamers should absolutely look elsewhere. The 4.6 out of 100 gaming score is one of the worst we've seen.
Also skip it if you care about display quality. The 1366x768 resolution on a 17.3-inch screen is a rough combination. Text looks soft, and you're not getting the crispness you'd expect from a modern laptop. If you need a big screen for reading or watching content, consider a used or refurbished machine with a 1080p panel instead. You'll get a much better experience for similar money.
Verdict
For a student who only needs to write papers, check email, and watch lectures, this HP 17 can work. The big screen is genuinely nice for reading documents and having two windows side by side, even if the low resolution makes text look a bit soft. Just keep your expectations in check. One tab at a time, no heavy apps, and you'll be fine. The SSD helps more than you'd expect.
For anyone else, skip it. The Celeron N4500 and 4GB of RAM are a recipe for frustration. Windows 11 updates alone will eat into that memory. And the 1366x768 display is a real letdown on a 17.3-inch panel. If you can spend even $100 more, you'll get a dramatically better experience. This laptop is a niche product for a very specific buyer, and that buyer needs to know exactly what they're getting into.
