When you open up the HP Pavilion 17-e116dx laptop, immediately apparent are the spacious 17.3-inch display and a full-size keyboard accompanied by a fairly big trackpad with real physical buttons. Since this isn’t a premium laptop by any stretch of imagination, its understandable that the screen resolution isn’t full HD or 1920×1080 pixels. Instead, the laptop has a native 1600×900-pixel count, just like on the majority of other 17.3-inchers. 1080p videos will not run in their sharp resolution, but even the included 900p screen provides enough real estate for comfortable web surfing, office and multimedia experience. At least it’s bigger than on the usual 15.6-inchers with 1366×768 screens.<\/p>\n
Hardware hidden inside the 1.3-inch thick glossy black chassis with dotted pattern and silver-colored lid consists of the 4th Gen Intel Core i3-4000M dual-core processor from the latest Haswell CPU family, 4GB of RAM memory, and a 750GB hard drive. The included i3 is a full-voltage part, meaning snappier performance than the common ultra-low voltage version of the same CPU. Graphics processor inside is integrated on the CPU. These don’t offer gaming performance of the dedicated video cards, but the Intel HD 4600 can be used for some light gaming if you reduce in-game details. Besides better graphics, Haswell brings lower consumption than the 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge, so the 17-e116dx is a nice upgrade over the popular 17-e112dx<\/a> model with the 3rd Gen i3-3130M.<\/p>\n Both the CPU and GPU share the same memory, which is 4GB large in this case. Quite enough for all usual home and office tasks. The 750GB HDD offers enough space for movie and music libraries of the most of the users and is helped by a DVD burner optical drive.<\/p>\n Sound is provided by stereo speakers. Skype and other video chat services are supported via a 720p webcam built into the LCD bezel.<\/p>\n Selection of ports and slots is generous. Along the left side, there are VGA video output, HDMI video out, two USBs, audio jack, and a multiformat media card reader. The right side houses another one USB, Ethernet jack, and the power connector, besides the DVD drive.<\/p>\n Overall, HP’s 17-e116dx is a well-rounded big-screen laptop with the latest computing technology and plenty of storage space. It’s an ideal solution for the budget-conscious consumers who want to replace their old desktop PCs with a desktop replacement notebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When you open up the HP Pavilion 17-e116dx laptop, immediately apparent are the spacious 17.3-inch display and a full-size keyboard accompanied by a fairly big trackpad with real physical buttons.
