This laptop is 100% brand new (tho it says refurbished), I have photos of inside motherboard but do not know how to upload here.
The laptop back side has Win 10 serial key, I upgraded to Win 11 and it works fine and super fast.

Thanks. Not sure if the above pic is helpful, I tried to text it with whatever I can
One memory is Samsung brand 4 GB DDR4 (1Rx16) and another memory is RAMAXEL brand 8 GB DDR4 (1Rx8)
HDD brand is Toshiba (spinning), very noisy, gets real hot, I could feel it my palm while typing in keyboard
WiFi supports 500 MBPs internet, not tested for 1GBPs as I don't have higher speed internet at home to test
This laptop comes with Win 10 OS pre installed and has Win 10 serial key (just print out sticker) pasted by the seller on the back side and I upgraded to Win 11 very easily and the HP Support Assistant app automatically installed all drivers. Took 2-3 hours and several restarts but worth it.
I installed NVMe M.2 SSD stick in the empty slot of this laptop (they gave 1 screw too to hold the stick) and cloned the OS partition from the Toshiba HDD using Macrium Reflect 8 free clone utility and it works flawlessly as it's cloning so no need of Windows serial key.
I am going to replace the HDD with SSD 2.5 SATA next week as my order is delayed at shipping
This laptop is as good as brand new and no traces of any usage or scratches or blemish, it came with brown color original regular branded box that has "HP Refurbished" (something like this, don't remember exactly),
17inch screen is bright and good as I compared it with my other Costco 2019 Thanksgiving bought HP 15.6 Touchscreen laptop and don't see any difference, I use external monitor anyway using the HDMI/USB KVM Switch (bought in AliExpress for $12) and use one keyboard and one wireless mouse for both these laptops.
Apologies if my English is bad, I am from another country and surviving here on a work visa and has strict budget for almost everything so looking for cost effective survival and hence this good laptop is a big deal to me.

It looks like a good 17.3" option. It needs an SSD but 12 GB RAM is enough to leave alone.
Don't do it.

These HP 17s are part of a large line with a lot of compatible parts, and a ton are coming out lately. This is one of the better deals I've seen on one though.

one small thing i wish it has is USB C charging so i carry less brick around, and wish the usb c can support HDMI/power off a single cable for my external USB monitor
Don't do it.
