HP - 14" Laptop - Intel Celeron - 4GB Memory - 64GB eMMC - Indigo Blue

I like that it's compact and lightweight. The storage size is ok for me because I have another hp touch screen laptop that performs well and has a large amount of storage. I really wanted a blue laptop so that was a plus. I use it for my cloud computing course for school mostly.

In this day and age of smart phones and tablets with ever growing screen sizes, we may find that using one of those devices is not only more convenient and readily available for us to use. Our mobile devices today are much more capable than they used to be and we find ourselves doing more on them everyday. As capable and convenient these types of devices may be, there are those times where every once in awhile that we may need to use a more traditional computer like this one. You could be a writer, for instance, who wants to write a book or even a student who has a report due to his or her teacher who may find typing on a smaller device cumbersome. This is a good laptop for those people who want to get work done a little faster and efficiently. A general use laptop such as this will get the job done for those of us who still do a good amount of office or school work on a regular basis. It isn't the type of laptop for a gamer or other heavy user such as a photo or video editor. This is just a very basic laptop with a bare bones processor that should handle most light duty tasks with no problem. The first thing you definitely need to do upon setup is to get it out of "S Mode" which is a watered down version of Windows 10 that only is capable of using apps directly from the built in Windows store. You absolutely cannot run traditional Windows applications, such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or any other regular application that you may have on older computers unless you disable "S mode." Luckily, at least at the time of this review, removal of S Mode is free on the Windows app store. The keyboard and trackpad are "decent" at best but I found that at times, certain keys didn't show up making me press the key harder and the trackpad didn't always accurately track the pointer either. I ended up returning the laptop not specifically because of these issues but mostly because my 10.1 inch tablet with detachable keyboard does all this and more and then some. This has been the case for me for years and had stopped using computers like this for that very reason. I just don't have any need to use a traditional computer anymore.

Pros: looks nice, seems durable, long battery, every kind of port you typically need (usb-A, C, HDMI), enough storage and RAM to do basic everyday surfing, schoolwork, whatevs. Cons:I got it open box for $150, i would be disappointed had I paid anything more. Have already had to reboot it more than once after having it only a week. Your cell phone probably has more RAM than this so multitasking isnt its forte. Overall Im happy with this purchase and would probably buy again if at this price.

The HP Stream Laptop from Best Buy is a nifty, budget-friendly option that's easy to take anywhere. It sports a sleek design with a 14-inch HD display, offering a decent viewing experience. It's not a powerhouse, driven by an Intel Celeron processor and 4 GB of RAM, so it's more suited for everyday tasks rather than heavy-duty stuff. The 64 GB storage might feel a bit tight, but it contributes to snappy performance. What's nice is the impressive battery life, giving you around 11.5 hours for videos and 9 hours for streaming, making it great for on-the-go use. It also ticks the connectivity boxes with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a decent camera for video calls. Features like HP Fast Charge and a focus on energy efficiency add to its appeal, and the bonus one-year Microsoft 365 subscription is a nice touch for productivity. Overall, it's a handy companion for casual use, though not ideal for power users or those needing lots of storage.

I brought it for classes and work, it ran perfectly. I finished my classes last week and decided to use the laptop for games when I realized it doesn’t really have much storage. That’s my fault I wasn’t paying attention to the gb listed when I ordered, I just really needed a laptop that had convenient pricing. It was perfect. I added an external hard drive to help out with storage. The battery drains pretty quickly or what feels pretty quick to me. I did recommended to my grandmother and a few friends :)
