The HP 17 (2024, Model 17-cn4xxx) is the 2024 refresh of HP's mainstream 17.3-inch consumer laptop, the last HP 17 generation built on traditional DDR4 memory before the 2025 model moved to DDR5. It is also the first HP 17 to adopt Intel's rebranded Core "Series 1" naming — the Core 5 120U and Core 7 150U replace the older Core i5/i7 labels. It keeps the 2021-era lift-hinge chassis, full-size keyboard with numeric keypad, and 17.3-inch widescreen footprint, paired with Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics. A practical note for resale: unlike the soldered-memory 2025 model, the 2024 unit has two upgradable SO-DIMM slots, so its memory can be expanded. Because it shipped in many memory, storage, and display combinations, your exact configuration dictates the final resale price.

2024 model 17-cn4xxx Intel Core Series 1 DDR4 · upgradable

Core hardware configurations (2024)

Processor (CPU)

  • Intel Core 5 120U — 10 cores (2P + 8E), 12 threads, up to 5.0 GHz, 12MB cache
  • Intel Core 7 150U — 10 cores (2P + 8E), 12 threads, up to 5.4 GHz, 12MB cache
  • Entry trims also shipped with Intel Core 3 / Pentium-class processors in some regions

Graphics (GPU)

  • Intel Iris Xe Graphics (on Core 5 / Core 7 units)
  • Intel Graphics (UHD-class) on lower-tier processors
  • No discrete GPU option — this is an integrated-graphics productivity laptop

Memory (RAM)

  • DDR4-3200 dual-channel
  • Factory options of 8GB or 16GB
  • Two SO-DIMM slots, user-upgradable (commonly expanded to 32GB; the boards accept higher capacities)

Storage

  • M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive (SSD)
  • Factory capacities of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB
  • One M.2 slot; some units also include a 2.5" SATA bay for a second drive

A note on RAM and storage when quoting: HP shipped this model with 8GB or 16GB of memory and up to a 1TB SSD from the factory. Unlike the 2025 model, the 2024 unit's memory is not soldered — it uses two replaceable SO-DIMM slots, so listings advertising 32GB, 48GB, or 64GB are reseller upgrades that this hardware genuinely supports. When quoting, select the memory and storage capacities your laptop currently reports in Windows, whether factory or upgraded.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm I have the 2024 HP 17 (17-cn4)?
Check the regulatory label on the bottom cover, or open Settings → System → About in Windows, and look for a model number beginning 17-cn4 (retail listings often call it "17-CN400"). The clearest spec-based tell is the processor: the 2024 model runs an Intel Core 5 120U or Core 7 150U with DDR4 memory. If your laptop instead shows a Core Ultra 7 255U with DDR5, that's the newer 2025 17-cn5 model; if it shows a Core i5-1334U or i7-1355U, that's the 2023 17-cn3. Check our guide to finding your laptop's model number for full steps.
02 Can I trade in a 2024 HP 17 with wear or system issues?
Yes. We purchase HP 17 laptops in all operational states. Whether your unit runs like new, has a worn battery, a noisy fan, a cracked screen, or a broken hinge, adjusting your condition grading choices above will lock in a firm cash value. As a recent-generation model, a clean, fully working 2024 unit holds a strong offer in the HP 17 line.
03 Should I wipe or remove my SSD before shipping?
We recommend saving your personal files to an external drive or cloud storage and signing out of your Microsoft account before packaging. You don't need to remove the M.2 SSD yourself — our technical team runs certified, multi-pass data sanitation on every incoming drive. Review the steps on our data erasure protocols page.
04 Which 2024 configurations raise my trade-in value the most?
Since every 2024 unit shares integrated graphics, value is driven mainly by processor, memory, storage, and display. A Core 7 150U with 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and the FHD (1920 × 1080) 300-nit IPS panel will quote higher than an entry trim with a Core 5 120U, 8GB, and a 256GB drive on the HD+ (1600 × 900) screen. Because the memory is upgradable on this model, a unit a reseller has expanded to 32GB or more carries that added RAM toward its value, and a larger aftermarket SSD counts too. A fingerprint reader and Windows 11 Pro can add modest value.
05 Is the RAM upgradable on the 2024 HP 17?
Yes. The 2024 model uses two standard DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM slots, so the memory can be replaced or expanded — this is a key difference from the 2025 model, whose memory is soldered to the board and fixed for life. Many of these laptops are sold with reseller RAM upgrades for that reason. When quoting, select the memory amount your laptop currently reports in Windows, whether it is the factory capacity or an upgrade.
06 What is the turnaround for my cash payout?
Once your HP 17 arrives at our diagnostics lab and our intake team completes functional testing, payment is approved within two working days. We pay through fast electronic methods such as PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or CashApp, or by physical check mailed to you. Your prepaid shipping label is completely free and fully insured from start to finish.
