A:Answer The Stream definitely has advantages with size and simple, compact nature for data transfer. The Stream could be a good option to consider, especially since you mentioned having an external disk drive already (it is too small and does not have one built in). Storage on this model is a little slim, as it only has 64G (a good chunk, of which, will be used by Windows 10). There are comparably sized models with slightly faster processors and more storage that may be better long term (consider: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-14-laptop-intel-core-i3-8gb-memory-128gb-solid-state-drive-ash-silver-keyboard-frame/6299800.p?skuId=6299800 )
