I am always on the lookout for a cheap (affordable?) 17.3” laptop. I figure since many people actually use a laptop at home, a bigger screen is valuable. After all, you most likely have a tablet or smartphone so if you must get a laptop, get a huge screen! Typically, I try to get under $500 and that is pretty rare. Now, we have a HP Pavilion for $349.99 with a 17” screen. It was $419.99 just yesterday.

There are some catches. Obviously, at this price it is refurbished. It also is not a rocket ship but at this price, I don’t think you can go wrong. Here is the description and specs:
