Performance scores
A bottom-tier 2014 HP 17-p023ng with an AMD E1 APU and performance at the floor
The HP 17-p023ng is an aging 17-inch general-purpose laptop built around an AMD E1-6010 APU, landing at just $137 — well below the general-laptop median of about $248. Every meaningful metric sits at the floor of the category: integrated graphics only (score 0), an overall performance index of 0, and a uscomp_score of 3 against a median of 53. This is a machine for the lightest possible duties at a low price.
The price is the only real virtue
There is no metric on which this laptop leads its peers — performance, graphics, and overall score all sit at the bottom of the bracket. The case for the 17-p023ng rests entirely on the very low asking price and the large 17-inch screen, not on any capability advantage.
Performance is the honest ceiling
The weak spot by level is overall performance (index 0), which reflects an AMD E1-6010 APU from 2014 that was entry-level when new and is now thoroughly outclassed. There is no discrete GPU, and the integrated graphics handle only basic media. This is a machine for email, web, and light documents — anything more demanding will feel slow.
No depreciation curve available
No reliable depreciation data is available for this model (no original MSRP or release year on record), so a forward projection cannot be computed. Buyers should treat the $137 asking price as a sunk cost on a near-disposable machine.
Bracketed by budget peers
Slightly pricier options include the HP Pavilion G7 ($145) and HP Pavilion g7-2222sg ($147); cheaper alternatives include the Dell Inspiron 15-3552 ($127) and HP Pavilion G6-1070SO ($122).
Bottom line
The HP 17-p023ng only makes sense for a buyer whose budget is firmly capped around $137 and whose workload is genuinely minimal — basic email, web, and documents. Value-for-money is poor relative to slightly pricier peers; spending even $20 more typically buys a meaningfully stronger processor.
