Highlights

Drawbacks

  • The lower memory and display specification is a disclosed trade-off, not a value or performance recommendation.

Buyer fit

Best for

  • An entry 17.3-inch configuration that keeps its 8GB memory and 1600 x 900 display limitations explicit.

Not for you if

HP OmniBook 5 16-inch BG3K7EA laptop in Glacier Silver

Pick 2

Best backlit 16-inch keypad configuration

HP OmniBook 5 16-ag1001na BG3K7EA#ABU 16GB 512GB

BG3K7EA has a full-size backlit keyboard with numeric keypad in a 16-inch configuration.

Highlights

  • The exact configuration provides the largest built-in workspace in this comparison with 16GB memory and 512GB SSD.

Drawbacks

  • Its 1.79kg weight and 62.5% sRGB display make it a desk-first rather than colour-work or carry-first choice.

Buyer fit

Best for

  • A 16-inch general-work configuration where screen area matters more than minimum bag weight.

Not for you if

  • Colour-critical creative work, frequent light travel or buyers requiring 1TB local storage.

Check before buying

  • Confirm BG3K7EA#ABU, UK keyboard, onboard 16GB memory, 512GB SSD, 16-inch panel, ports, included adapter, warranty and returns.
HP OMEN Gaming Laptop 17 C53N4EA

Pick 3

Best RGB gaming keypad configuration

HP OMEN Gaming Laptop 17-db1008na C53N4EA#ABU 24GB 1TB RTX 5060

C53N4EA has a full-size one-zone RGB-backlit keyboard with numeric keypad.

Highlights

  • The exact 17.3-inch configuration provides the largest built-in workspace here while retaining 24GB memory, 1TB storage, 100% sRGB IPS evidence and RTX 5060 graphics.

Drawbacks

  • The larger footprint and 300-nit panel make this a desk-first role, and published specifications do not establish colour accuracy or performance.

Buyer fit

Best for

  • A large 17.3-inch built-in photo workspace at the route's memory and storage floor.

Not for you if

  • Frequent carry, compact desks or buyers requiring published DCI-P3 coverage.

HP Laptop 15-fc1004na D37J0EA#ABU D37J0EA 8GB 512GB

D37J0EA has a full-size keyboard with numeric keypad in a 15.6-inch configuration.

Highlights

  • The exact AMD configuration keeps 512GB SSD storage in the same practical 15.6-inch FHD envelope.

Drawbacks

  • Its 8GB memory is onboard, and HP lists the recommended 45W adapter as sold separately.

Buyer fit

Best for

  • An AMD-based 512GB configuration for routine study, home administration and general web work.

Not for you if

  • A buyer who needs upgradeable memory or demanding workstation use.

Check before buying

  • Confirm D37J0EA#ABU, UK keyboard, onboard 8GB memory, 512GB SSD, FHD panel, ports, warranty and a compatible 45W adapter because HP lists it as sold separately.

Top 4 comparison

Compare the useful differences, trade-offs and final checks side by side.

Before you compare

Check these first

  1. 1Confirm the exact #ABU configuration and UK keyboard layout, not only the laptop family name.
  2. 2Check whether backlighting matters: it is documented for BG3K7EA and one-zone RGB lighting for C53N4EA; do not assume the other two include it.
  3. 3Check the screen, memory, storage, ports, supplied adapter and seller terms alongside the keypad requirement.

Choose this if / Avoid this if

Rule out poor-fit options before comparing finer details.

Avoid if

  • You need a multi-brand market survey rather than a source-closed exact-configuration comparison.
  • You need measured performance, acoustics, battery runtime, ergonomics or reliability.

Dealbreakers

  • The route-defining fact belongs to a sibling or configurable family maximum.
  • The current Product page resolves to a different configuration identity.

Check before buying

  • Confirm the exact #ABU configuration and UK keyboard layout, not only the laptop family name.
  • Check whether backlighting matters: it is documented for BG3K7EA and one-zone RGB lighting for C53N4EA; do not assume the other two include it.
  • Check the screen, memory, storage, ports, supplied adapter and seller terms alongside the keypad requirement.

Choose another shortlist if

  • Choose the broad laptop shortlist when no single specialist requirement is decisive.
  • Choose another specialist route when its exact predicate is the real hard requirement.

When another role fits better

The first option is a useful starting point, not a universal winner. Move another role ahead when its use case, fit or ownership trade-offs match you better.

Known limitations

UK Shortlists has not conducted first-party performance, acoustic, thermal, battery, ergonomic or reliability testing. This is a source-bound exact-configuration comparison.

How we chose

The checks behind the four picks

Qualification requires the exact keyboard record to state full-size and numeric keypad. Backlighting and RGB are preserved where published; comfort, spacing and key feel are not inferred.

  • Step 1: Exact option-defining specification
  • Step 2: Exact processor memory storage and display
  • Step 3: Distinct stable buyer role
  • Step 4: Official image and current exact Product surface

Criteria-based comparison

We compare published product information, retailer details and the buying criteria shown above. UK Shortlists does not currently publish claims based on first-party product use, laboratory testing or long-term testing.

FAQs & alternatives

Are all four numeric keypads backlit?

No such claim is made. BG3K7EA has a documented backlit keyboard and C53N4EA has one-zone RGB backlighting. The records for DQ9K0EA and D37J0EA establish the keypad, not a backlighting feature.

Does full-size mean the keys will feel comfortable to me?

No. The manufacturer layout description does not establish key spacing, travel, sound or typing comfort. Compare exact-model photographs and independent assessments, and check the seller’s return terms.

Why are all four choices from HP?

The available evidence identifies these four exact UK configurations. This is a limited single-brand comparison, not a claim that HP is the best brand or that the whole UK market was reviewed.

Also consider

  • Use the broad laptop shortlist for a general starting point.
  • Use a size, memory, storage or gaming route when that exact configuration constraint is primary.
