Best 17-inch laptop deals: Big savings on big screens

Andrew Morrisey
By

While many folks tend to focus on smaller and more portable laptops, others prefer something with a bigger screen. While they tend to be harder to find bags for, bigger screens give you more screen real estate to work with, and if you have eyesight issues, having a bigger screen can also work. Unfortunately, there aren’t as many 17-inch screens out there as we would like, but we’ve still found a nice selection that you can pick from, with everything from the budget-friendly to the high-end.

Our Favorite 17-inch Laptop Deal

While there aren’t a lot of budget-oriented 17-inch laptop deals, this one on HP’s 17z is a solid choice if you want a Windows laptop that stays under $300. It comes with an AMD Athlon Gold 7220U, which is perfect for simple day-to-day tasks and productivity work, and the 8GB of RAM will give you a bit of leeway when it comes to apps and tabs. Storage is minimal, though, at only 128GB, so you might want to grab one of these external hard drive deals to help. As for the screen, it runs a 1600 x 900, but you can upgrade that to 1920 x 1080 for an extra $40, which is what we’d do if we only made one upgrade here. That said, if you can swing it, then upgrading to the AMD Ryzen 3 7320U for $80 is also another good upgrade that will give you a better quality of life.

On the other hand, if HP’s budget option doesn’t quite do it for you, there are some other options you can go with. For example, there’s a great Chromebook version that will work well if you want it something for work or school, and if you want something that can do a bit of gaming, there are both LG Gram 17 and XPS 17 configurations that offer it, although they get expensive quickly.

Best gaming laptop deals: Razer, Alienware, MSI, and more

There has been a huge boom in gaming laptops in the past few years; once they were bulky, expensive, and not that good, we now have thin and lightweight configurations with lots of power. We're also seeing more and more powerful GPUs in gaming laptops, although it's important to note that even if laptop GPUs have the same name as desktop GPUs, they often aren't the same. Even so, having a laptop RTX 4070 or 4080, which are one step down from their desktop counterparts, are leaps and bounds better than a few years ago when we'd have to rely on the processor to do all the graphical lifting.
There's a lot of variety to pick from, and the market is saturated with deals, so to help you along, we've collected some of our favorite gaming laptop deals below. We've broken it up between Intel CPUs and AMD CPUs so you can pick the processor family you feel most comfortable with.
