You can upgrade screen to 1920x1080 for +$50 and upgrade RAM to 16GB for $80
Can also upgrade i5 to i7 and SSD size. Hmmm after upgrades might still be an overall good buy ?

Note that this has a low-end 900p display: 17.3" diagonal, HD+ (1600 x 900), BrightView, 250 nits
The processor is not bad BUT... HP build quality is subpar.
I made the mistake of purchasing the HP 17z-ca300
Performance was decent but the outer casing starter disintegrating within months. The plastic was brittle and of course the metal hinges glued to plastic.

Yes, I own this, I upgrade to 32GB memory, no issue.
I haven't noticed an issue with low nits (brightness) but the one major issue I have is that the touchpad is often unusable. It often will not register clicks.
