The Best 17-inch Office Laptops

Office laptops with large 17-inch displays are great for all users who prefer a notebook over a desktop to save precious space and who have fairly moderate performance expectations for their everyday tasks (browsing the web, office applications, watching videos, …). The built-in 17-inch display can be an adequate replacement for an external display while still allowing for portable use, for example outdoors in one’s backyard. Price is also an important factor for these machines, and around 1,000 Euros are usually the limit. Please also consider the following top 10 lists when looking for a device:

There’s a very fine line between multimedia and office use in this category, which is why you will find devices with integrated graphics as well as those with entry-level dedicated graphics below. Nevertheless, the use case scenarios for these devices remain identical. Even notebooks equipped with dedicated GPUs such as Nvidia’s GeForce MX250 are only capable of running a few older games at reduced details and resolutions smoothly. In return, notebooks with integrated graphics are just as capable as those with dedicated graphics when it comes to media consumption, entry-level photo and video editing, and of course running office applications such Microsoft Word or Excel or browsing the web. If, however, you are looking for something capable of gaming as well you should rather go for laptops with GeForce GTX 1660 or RTX 2060 instead. You will find a great selection thereof in our current budget gaming top list.
