I bought this notebook from the link in the description in amazon.
Basically all he said is true, My web browsing though is not really bad at
all, the keyboard is nice. In my personal opinion, this laptop is not
really good enough for gaming. i downloaded dota 2 and it took almost all
the space in my disk. and it was slowing down other performances. the
gameplay for dota 2 had some lags but it was playable. overall its a nice
laptop, it just has some of its limits.

H: “Honey, we need another windows laptop!”
W: “Why, don’t you already have like 5 of them?”
H: “Yes, but this one is fanless so that’s a first.”
W: “Hmm… OK… I guess”
Joking aside, I don’t remember any other windows laptop being fanless. I
hope HP is telling the truth an this is not as fanless as the chromebox –
the Lenovo G50-30 is really silent but it still has a fan. I’m not so sure
about the storage, maybe 60/64 GB would be a bit better.

My mum has a HP but a really old one. ( i have to use it as my was broken
when we moved house) and mums laptop always over heats and she complains
that i should buy my laptop. So i saved up since august and got around
£250. I was going to buy a macbook air but the thing is mum keeps complaing
so i decided if i should buy one of these. I saw they have no fan but does
it over heat?

If you happen to see this, Microsoft is selling it for 220 right now.

From a IT-admin perspective:
1. No fan = 1 more thing not to repair/clean
2. AMD power. The graphic power of and AMD APU(CPU) is MUCH better than
Intel. Perfect HP. Thx.
3. AMD APU is 1 chip, where Intel is cpu and then an semi integrated
graphic solution. Again PERFECT.
4. Windows over Chrome OS. Yes thx. let me be versatile. Let me install
LEGO software, other browsers when Chrome fails (happens).
5. 32gb SSD is perfect for schools. Most is browser based anyway.
6. HP and MS nailed it here….. Any IT-admin with a sence of knowledge
will buy this over any Chromebook.
7. I can install print drives and actually print what i want. Chrome OS
cant do.
8. Single sign on systems is for now something that is not working well on
Chromebooks. This is a Chrome problem, because they want you to stay
connected which is not wanted everywhere.
9. Browsers will in the future work towards better use of the APU system.
This means that the review here is valid, but not as bad as presented.
Negative: Why not a mat screen? I hate glossy, its impossible to work
outside.

The HP Stream PC is another new low cost Windows PC that cost less than
$300. Great gaming performance!

My mom uses it for the school ( she is a teacher ), internet and nothing
more, should I give this model to my mother for chrismas with an external
hard drive?
Steven Whiting December 21, 2014
I assume we can wipe it and put Linux on? Just curious as would be a nice
size for a pen testing machine.

This could be used as a Skype machine for live broadcasts.

bought one today at a Microsoft store. Went in there, wanting something a
little bigger, but was pissed off at the prices on several laptops, that
really didnt warrant their price points. Decided to stick with the HP
Elitebook/8440p at home…and will just take it to get the hardware
freshened up. Will probably get Windows 7 Pro, re-installed. But in the
meantime, I was immediately impressed with the Stream…light…easy to
use…and extremely convenient. Got it for a total of 250.00 with the
warranty. Has tablet-like DNA, and a monkey could use it. PERFECT for a
student of some kind, that isnt tech-savvy

Ok i have $200 to get the Hp stream 11 but should i save to get this one

If i may ask what is the Frame Rate For Minecraft? I maybe considering to

Ahmad Motawi December 21, 2014
hi
do u think there is a much difference regarding the screen size,
portability and the performance regarding the 14 and 13.3 hp stream? IS
the 14 inche (which I prefer) is worth the price difference?
thanks for ur help
Geoxile December 21, 2014
The web browsing is fine it seems. It scored 8% higher than Intel’s Z3770,
which is also a low-end part and works great. Of course, it’s no match for
the Haswell Celerons.
It’s too bad about that crappy touchpad and the mediocre speakers. Those
really kill it for me.

What are the speeds on the eMMC flash memory on the Stream 14 and 11? I saw
you do a test on the 7. I wonder if they all use the same 32GB NAND part?
Official .DJTK December 21, 2014
This is completly different to all the comments. do you think this laptop
would run flstudio11? would mainly use it just for making music. please
reply anyone. worried it will lag to much
Hi Lon, (im french so im sorry for the mistakes), I am a student and i
would like to buy this PC to write my lessons but also use it at home with
some videos, youtube etc and maybe some games (not recent), so im wondering
if this PC is a good alternative or maybe this one : http://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_ordinateurs_puis_rubrique_est_wport_puis_ref_est_in10083484.html
Can you give me your point of view ? Which one will be more performant ?
Thanks

Do you think it could handle a Wacom tablet and a simple Paint Tool Sai art
program?

Supernautt December 21, 2014
lol why the hell are so many people talking about gaming with these? good
luck with that…inless you guys are talking about like browser games or
something….they are tablets with keyboards basically…email, work, web
browsing ext.
Sinful Secrecies December 21, 2014
I don’t play games online or otherwise and too often use my laptop for
social networks, school work and watching YouTube videos. Would this be a
good laptop for me? I’m jot techy so I was hoping you’d give me some
advice. Also if I were to buy a DVD drive for HP Stream 14 and download a
player, would I be able to watch DVDs? I already have a chromebook but it
doesn’t allow me to download things outside Google webstore or unless it’s
a jpg, PNG, gif, and I can’t watch movies on it unless watched online, so
I’d like something different.
