HP OmniBook 3 17z-dp000: problems, parts and running costs
Checked: 2026-10-18
Summary
This 17.3-inch HD+ touch laptop runs a 2-core AMD Athlon Silver 10 with 8 GB of soldered RAM and a 128 GB SSD, so it is a large-screen basic machine rather than a performance laptop [6]. The shared OmniBook 3 chassis draws family-level complaints about plastic build, a cheap-feeling touchpad, weak speakers and USB-A 2.0 ports [2][3].
Common problems and fixes
- Weak 2-core CPU — the Athlon Silver 10 has 2 cores and tops out at 3.5 GHz, a hard ceiling for multitasking. No fix; the chip is not replaceable. [6]
- Lid does not stay shut — on the tested unit the lid did not stay fully shut when held upside down. No fix reported. [2]
Parts and consumables
Yearly running cost
Not enough data. No running-cost figures or owner reports were found for this exact SKU, and no subscription lock-in is mentioned in the sources. [6]
When it is a good buy
The exact 17z-dp000 price could not be read because HP’s product page timed out at check time [6]. Judge it against the well-reviewed 14-inch and 16-inch OmniBook 3 models, which reviewers place around $499 to $600, with a 14-inch unit seen at Costco for $499 and the 16-inch line starting at $530 [2][3].
