Customer Ratings & Reviews

It was wonderful I’m so happy to have it! I recommend college students to have one.

My only wish is that it would have a touch screen.

I really enjoy this computer, especially the size and color. It is small enough where I can bring it to my vendor shows and on airplanes and it isn't big and bulky taking up a lot of space. The internet connection and clarity is great. The only thing I don't like is the storage space isn't the best but I just purchased a flash drive. LOVED that I got a discounted Printer, Scanner, and fax machine to go with it!!

I'm a technologist and writer and have had many laptops over the years; weight is an important consideration in the items I purchase, I don't like long OS lags when doing things, and I need a solid keyboard and battery life that is functional. This machine hits on all those points. The keyboard in last year's model was *slightly* better and the trackpad is serviceable. I generally buy external mice for $15-20 when I buy a laptop and then turn off the trackpad in the OS. The bloatware is minimized and is easy to remove. For general usage and readability the screen is fine, but it is a bit washed out. If you want to do large file manipulation or have lots of media this is not the machine for you; this is for writers or basic consumption through online streaming, writing emails, etc. It's durable and for the price point I can take it with me to do things without worrying too much about coffee shop spills, or drops, etc. A system that has none of the downsides this has would probably cost $350 or so. Lenovo makes several with 64G SSDs and I had purchased one of those only to have to return it due to the awkward placement of the Shift Key on the right-hand side which made typing impossible for me. In short, I was exceptionally pleased with the first generation HP Stream and while I don't love this one as much from a keyboard and screen standpoint, the 4G of Ram is essential to make even a light-use laptop functional and I have absolutely no regrets.

I purchased this computer mainly for internet use and listening to music/ watching movies. I Removed bloatware I Uninstalled Apple Bonjour, I Uninstalled McAfee Antivirus, I Uninstalled HP Support & Registration. I Disabled automatic updates I Also installed AVG and Malwarebytes. I was reading that a 64GB microSD card can expand the storage space, have not purchased one yet. Computer is very slow at times, even with uninstalling some programs.... Luckily it is a cheap affordable option and I also price matched with another store. Still trying to figure out how to make it run a bit smoother. One thing I LOVE is the color and keyboard!!!!!!

Very light and good quality for student. My daughter loves the color.

too much bloatware. expect to experience frustration trying to remove it all. Not enough memory storage. Only has 32G and the windows 11 eats up half of it. Windows 11 very annoying OS. Key board is mickey mouse. But on the bright side this note book is light and cheap. Just don't drop it....it will break into a million pieces. Peace

Nice laptop for the price, bought for my brother who was in college and wanted for homework.

This laptop is good for college students who are doing light work. When I first used the laptop, it was going kind of slow and then after downloading Photoshop, I get a message saying that I was running low on space. My advice is to get a backup hard drive or buy extra space if needed. Also, whenever I am watching Netflix, the laptop freezes. I should not be having these issues early on. Overall, I like the fact that it is lightweight and I can get my work done.

It’s a really great laptop the only drawback is there isn’t enough storage you’ll have to purchase an external hard drive

My daughter just started having homework online this year. This laptop is lightweight, durable and quick enough for what she needs. Perfect for beginners!

Bought for my 7 year old to play video games. Works great but has very low storage.

This is a great machine for the price. If you manage your expectations and understand what you are buying, you should be very happy with this device. It has a nice fit and finish, works very well, and offers a great feature set for the price. This is not my main computer, but does very well as a secondary unit.

I bought this laptop for my 18 year old to use for her college work. She loves the color and it was easy to get the laptop set-up. She hasn't had any problems with speed. I'm even thinking of getting another one for myself to use for work. The price is right. Just keep in mind this laptop isn't for gamers, it is geared toward individuals who need to do Internet research or write papers.

I bought this computer for my granddaughter for Chtistmas and she has been very happy with it. She has used it for research but mostly plays games on it and has had no problems with it. She has learned much about using a computer. Great deal for the price.

I've experienced a few problems (i.e. small crack on the screen, low memory issues) which have also been mentioned in previous reviews. But overall I am quite happy with my purchase. Love the color!

This computer is great for my school work! Nice and lightweight to carry from class to class. Wish it had a little bit of a bigger hard drive.

A nice purple colored laptop but... with only 32GB of flash memory. Why so low?.. nobody can be happy with 32GB!? After updating two times, that memory was full!!?? And you can not downloading your updates on another memory card. Did needed to return my first laptop because it showed "plugged in, not uploading".. so get my second laptop by ordering online, cause you couldn't buy it in store. This one was working perfect.. but the 32GB memory was indeed quickly full. The trick: reset and start a new with the new updates, did not work. I am really sorry cause i really liked his keyboard and this pretty 14" laptop.

Good for a general, everyday laptop. Very light, thin, and pretty.

Niece and nephew was starting college. Bought 2 computers as a gift for them. Beautiful colors....blue and purple. Great computer. We all were very impressed. Great price. Excellent quality.
