Choosing a 17-inch laptop

A 17-inch or larger screen gives you room for two documents side by side, wide spreadsheets, editing timelines and immersive games. Every laptop here has a screen of 17 inches or more.

The trade-off is size and weight: most weigh 2 kg or more and need a large bag. They work best as desktop replacements that move between rooms rather than travel laptops.

Big laptops often have space for a number pad and more ports. Check the resolution: a big screen at only 1080p can look soft up close.

Frequently asked questions

Are 17-inch laptops still made?

Fewer than before: many makers moved to 16-inch screens with thinner bezels. 17 and 18-inch models remain, mostly gaming laptops and large everyday laptops.

How heavy is a 17-inch laptop?

Usually 2 to 3 kg. They're best as desktop replacements that move between rooms rather than daily carries.

17-inch or 16-inch?

A modern 16-inch laptop has nearly as much screen in a smaller, lighter body. Choose 17 or 18 inches if you want the biggest screen and will mostly use it at a desk.
