HP Pavillion 17-E020US is easy on the eyes- a beautifully crafted machine with shiny black color and ice silver outer parts. Beautiful crisp images on its large 17 inch screen and amazing sound quality with DTS sound. It is well powerful and fast to handle most of your work or school tasks too. If you don't want to spend hundreds more for more specs, it is well worth checking out with its low price tag.

2.4 GHz Core Ivy Bridge i3-3110M processor is quite capable in every way and 6 GB DDR3 RAM (expandable to 8GB) memory is wonderful when you're running a few programs at the same time. 750 GB Serial ATA hard drive at 5400RPM is plenty of space to store lots of files, songs, photos, videos. You also get free 25GB lifetime cloud storage to have access to your files on whichever device you are and wherever you are.

You'll enjoy the large 17.3 inch LED Backlight, diagonal HD+ BrightView Display at 1600x900 pixel resolution that offers beautiful colors and graphics with the Intel HD graphics 4000. We were impressed by the audio that is at concert-quality level through its built-in speakers and DTS Sound+. You also get a full-size comfortable and user friendly keyboard with numeric keypad. Operating system is Windows 8 with its highly customizable tiles.
