Hi everyone!
I am looking to upgrade my laptop (for work and online college). Thus, I want to make sure that I buy a good laptop and that I have the best setup possible. Here are the current specs I am looking at:
HP Laptop 17z-cp300, 17.3"
- Windows 11 Home
- AMD Ryzen™ 5 7530U (up to 4.5 GHz, 16 MB L3 cache, 6 cores, 12 threads) + AMD Radeon™ Graphics
- 17.3" diagonal, FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, anti-glare, 250 nits
- 3-cell, 41 Wh Lithium-ion prismatic Battery
- Full-size island-style jet black keyboard with numeric keypad
- HP True Vision 720p HD camera with temporal noise reduction and integrated dual array digital microphones
- Realtek Wi-Fi 6 (1x1) and Bluetooth® 5.3 wireless card
I want a good amount of RAM, but I could use some advice (my current laptop has 12 GB):
12 GB DDR4-3200 SDRAM (1 x 4 GB, 1 x 8 GB) + $30.00 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 SDRAM (2 x 8 GB) + $70.00 |

I want 1 TB of storage, but I am not sure which option is the best one:
1 TB 5400 rpm SATA HDD; 128 GB PCIe® SSD + $70.00 | 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA; 256 GB M.2 SSD + $80.00 |
---|---|
1 TB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD + $140.00 | 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA; 512 GB M.2 SSD + $160.00 |
I also want to know what the best option is for Network Connectivity:
Realtek Wi-Fi 6 (1x1) and Bluetooth® 5.3 wireless card Included In Price | MediaTek Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6™ MT7921 (2x2) and Bluetooth® 5.2 combo**+ $20.00** |
