Product Manuals

Q: Does it have a dvd/cd player?

A: Per CNET it does.

Q: Is this a touch screen?

A: No. Source: Product description.

Q: When will this be available to purchase?

A: It’s available now, but if you see a sold out notice just keep trying. The yellow add to cart button finally popped up for me and I was able to purchase one.

Q: Is this computer a 64 bit system

A: Hello, I see that you are interested in knowing if the HP 17.3 laptop is a 64bit system. The answer is yes, the HP 17.3 is a 64bit system. I hope that answered your question. Feel free to visit us again if you have any concerns!

Q: Have you replaced the hard drive with a Solid State Drive (SSD) and how easy or difficult was it?

A: It is not hard to do. But you have to be gently careful in taking off the base cover. There are 14 philips head screws to undo. Remove the battery to reveal 2 of the 14. 4 are hidden. 2 are under the center strip on the back. The strip has 2 screw hole markings (circle with cross hatch) that you need to pop out. There is one each beneath the back rubber foot pads. Only peel back the pads a little from center side edge. The center screw anchors the DVD. Gently slide the DVD tray out to avoid damaging it while loosening the back off the laptop. Use a plastic prying edge to slowly and gently work the back cover off the laptop. The rest is on YouTubes. Look up HP 17 bs049dx HDD to SSD
