Verdict:
The 17-BY3613DX by HP is a laptop aimed for browsing or entertainment because of its 17-inch screen. But it is not intended for gaming. Yes, it is light and thin but not good for traveling. The price tag is a bit high considering the specs and features that you get. I would recommend that you look for another laptop on this price point that thas better performance.
