HP 17.3-inch laptop — $370, was $550
HP makes a huge range of laptop models to suit various needs, and this regularly places it among the best laptop brands. This 17.3-inch HP laptop is on the entry-level end of the model lineup, though it does have some slightly upgraded specs for getting your work or studies done throughout the day. It checks in with 6GB of RAM and a blazing fast 256GB solid state drive. It also has an Intel Core i3 1215U processor and Intel Graphics. While these are closer to the entry-level range, this laptop can still get things done. You’ll also find Windows 11 preinstalled to ensure you’re up and running in no time after breaking it out of the box.
ASUS TUF A17 gaming laptop — $1,365, was $1,500
While the ASUS TUF A17 might not be the most powerful 17-inch laptop, it’s a great entry-level option for those who also want to have a little bit of gaming capability. It has an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor, which is a mid-range option that is perfect for those who need something for work and creativity tasks. The RTX 4060 under the hood is also pretty great and will run the FHD resolution pretty well, even potentially hitting the 144Hz refresh rate it is capable of. The 16GB of DDR5 RAM is also certainly appreciated, since it’s not always easy to find that on a gaming laptop at this price range.
LG Gram 17-inch laptop — $1,400, was $1,800
The larger footprint of a 17-inch laptop allows for extra room for bulkier, more powerful hardware, and the LG Gram takes advantage of it. Its upgraded specs include 16GB of RAM and a 2TB solid state drive. It also has Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, allowing you to connect dual 4K monitors or a single 8K monitor. Specs like these put this laptop into a near-professional category, yet its price point makes it an option for anybody looking for a capable laptop. Despite its larger screen size, the LG Gram is designed to be ultra light and portable.
GIGABYTE AORUS 17 — $1,663, was $1,750
If you want a solid mid-range gaming laptop that doesn’t come from one of the big names, then this GIGABYTE AORUS 17 is the perfect way to go. It has an RTX 4070, which may struggle a little bit with the QHD resolution, especially if you try to push it to its truly impressive 240 Hz refresh rate. That said, it does give you some leeway to prioritize the graphics or the refresh rate if you’d like to play more competitive games from time to time. As for the processor you get an Intel i7-13700H, and combined with the 16GB of RAM, should be more than enough to give you a silky smooth day to day experience.
MSI Stealth 17 — $2,761, was $3,699
While MSI may be more well-known for making motherboards and graphics card variations, it also makes a pretty great gaming laptop, such as the MSI Stealth 17. Impressively, it has an RTX 3080 Ti under the hood, which is perfect for 2k gaming and can also handle some 4k gaming at a lower refresh range and graphical settings. It also comes with one of the most powerful CPUs on the market, the Intel Core i7-12700H, as well as a whopping 32GB of RAM, so you’ll absolutely get a smooth overall experience with it.
ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 — $2,821, was $3,000
