Q: I need a computer for college. Would this computer be a good fit for on-line classes ?
A: This is a netbook, designed for online use. So if you are just doing your school by logging in to a site, this would be suitable. However, if you need to store a lot of documents or install a number of programs, I would look for a regular laptop with more storage space. Of course, you can also add storage for your files by using an SD card, although you can not install programs to the card.
Q: How well will this laptop work for downloading and playing games my children will want?
A: This computer is designed for entry-level, primarily online use. It does not have a lot of space to install programs, and is not fast or powerful enough for heavy-duty gaming.
A: Yes, should work great.
Q: Can I type in Japanese language on the keyboard?
A: Yes, using MS-IME which is a typing Japanese software provided by Microsoft. It is already installed on all current Windows systems. You can type Japanese words in Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji using a keyboard of English or other languages.
A: The HP Stream has Office 365 pre-installed. Office 2016 can be installed and used, but Office 365 would need to be uninstalled.
A: This is an HP Stream, which is a netbook like Chromebooks. You can think of it as a Windows version of a Chromebook. Netbooks get long battery life because they have lightweight processors and don't run large, resource-heavy programs. This one gets up to 12.0 hours of battery life.
Q: Will this support 'sims' game play
A: This laptop is not designed for gaming. It is primarily for web browsing, video streaming, light productivity etc... If you wish to play games you really need to find a model which has atleast 8GB of RAM and an Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 Processor.
Q: What operating system does this have?
A: Hi there! This model features Windows 10 Home :)
