Customers frequently mention the Pavilion 17.3" Laptop's large screen, affordable price, and Windows 10 operating system as positive aspects. The large screen is particularly well-received, with customers appreciating its size for various tasks. However, some customers express dissatisfaction with the keyboard size and the lack of Wi-Fi A/C connectivity.
I purchased this laptop to upgrade a 5 year old laptop. I chose this over others for the Intel Core i7 processor and so far the speed has been impressive. The laptop has some very useable features and the larger screen makes a big difference when you take it on the go. I have an additional monitor plugged in for home use, so that gives me 2 screens which is great. The display has great resolution and is very clear as well. It seems to be a good weight for the size and I don't think that it will be a problem when traveling ( it actually weighs less than my old 15" laptop). I think the price and the features make this a great option, I only wish the keyboard lit up.

If you're looking for screen real estate but don't need touch-screen or 2-in-1 features, this is a fast, good-looking machine. For basic home or business use, you can't beat the features for the price.

I was browsing stores for a new laptop. An earlier HP Pavilion DV6 I bought (from BestBuy) 4 years ago gave up on me with its screen hinge stuck on the keyboard body. Its still working ! but more like a 'table'-top now. I saw this laptop in BestBuy, they had 10% rewards on a new bestbuy credit card (I did not need a new credit card but this was $62 back on an already great price of $629 on a great 17 inch I-7 HP) and the net cost to me was $569 ! (no taxes, we live in Delaware) So far I love it. I personally dont know what the big deal is about touch laptops. I tried out a touch laptop from BJs for a few days before I got tired of it and returned it. I have my galaxy Tab, and my Galaxy Edge so why do I need to touch my laptop? Back to this one.. the keys are super responsive. I have always been a big fan of the island style keypad so I love this. Its lighter than my earlier DV6 pavilion (that was also 17 in). 6 GB of RAM and 750 GB of hard disk is more than enough for any basic work. May be not for heavy gaming but I do not do that anyway. My recommendation - get Windows 10 on it ASAP. This laptop comes with Windows 8 pre-installed and we all know how 'fast' Windows 8 was. With windows 10, everything I do on this is a breeze.
