A:AnswerAnything made within the past 10-15 years or so would probably work, straight out of the box, for basic printing. AIO's and advanced features, such as low-ink warning, would probably require the specific program (drivers) for that unit.
A:AnswerAs with the query on RAM upgrades, I looked this up on both Gemini and Copilot. Both were ambivalent on the answer, but the Gemini presented more information and seemed more hopeful. This is what I found (slightly abbreviated):
Yes, the HP 17-cn3327dx laptop likely supports adding a second drive, specifically a 2.5-inch SATA SSD or HDD, in addition to the 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD that is already installed.
Drive Expansion Options
The HP 17-cn series models are generally configured with one of the following storage layouts:
One M.2 NVMe SSD slot (occupied): Your 1TB drive is using this slot.
One empty 2.5-inch drive bay: This is where you would install a secondary 2.5-inch drive (either a standard SATA SSD or a traditional HDD).
The ability to add the 2.5-inch drive depends on whether the necessary caddy and connecting cable (often an HP accessory) are included with your specific model or if they need to be purchased separately.
Important Considerations
Parts Required: To install a 2.5-inch drive, you will likely need a drive caddy and a SATA ribbon cable that connects the drive to the motherboard. These parts are often not included when the laptop is configured with only an M.2 SSD from the factory.
Accessing the Slot: As with RAM, accessing the drive slots in this laptop typically requires removing the entire bottom cover. This process is considered non-user-accessible by HP and could potentially void your warranty if not done correctly.
Drive Type: The secondary drive slot uses the SATA interface, which is slower than the primary M.2 NVMe drive, but it's an excellent way to add high-capacity, low-cost storage for files, media, and backups.
It is highly recommended to look up a video of a teardown or drive installation for the HP 17-cn series before attempting this upgrade.
You can find a visual guide on the process of upgrading a similar HP 17.3-inch laptop, which often involves adding an M.2 SSD and an additional 2.5-inch hard drive
A:AnswerSeems a silly question up front. I have had more than one HP laptop. And other brands. Personal and company. "Full size" keyboards apparently may not be the same. My older HP 15.6 keyboard and number pad keys are spaced further apart that even our new "Full" HP 17.3. Its not always about screensize. I prefer the spaciousness for my fingers. Looking for keyboard specs if available. Not a fan of tighter key spacing. Maybe expected on a compact laptop, but expect slightly larger spacing on the largest laptops. Just didnt know if keyboards have specs. I will just let my fingers do the walking on display models of all brands. Thank you.
