    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.

    Great laptop. I love the color- I chose rose gold. The picture is crystal clear, and it runs very smoothly- perfect laptop for school, browsing, and I’ve even used it to play games (not sure how it’d handle bigger games, but to play Among Us, it worked perfectly). My purchase came with a free HP mouse which has been very handy, and I also appreciate the fact that it comes with, I believe, a 6-month trial of Microsoft Office. Also- you definitely can’t beat the price for this computer. I got this on sale for under $200, and I’ve got to say, I’m very happy with my purchase. If you’re looking for an everyday laptop that can get it done- here it is.

    I was looking for an affordable laptop that would help me with basic record keeping and I found this HP at a very reasonable price. I liked the blue color and that it came with Windows 11. It also came with Microsoft 365. It does not come with all the bells and whistles as the high end laptops but it has enough to help me with my record keeping projects. I would of like that the battery would last a little bit longer but it's enough to keep you working without charging it during the day. If you want an entry level laptop, this is the one. I would not have any problem recommending it to my family or friends.

    I bought this laptop as a cheap portable take everywhere computer. In the original configuration it is very slow because of the low memory, different that what HP says it has upgradeable memory slot and also a slot for m2. The machine is much more responsive with the 8 gb RAM. You have to take the entire bottom of the computer with isn’t easy. Good - Price($149) - Light - can upgrade RAM and SSD - battery Bad - Screen low resolution - to upgrade you have to take out all the lower part - feels cheap - performance is in the low end even with the extra money For what I needed it is perfect, including to have a upgrade path that most cheap laptops don’t have anymore My Daughter who is going to college is already using it and liked the portability and for her basic tasks it is OK

    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.

    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 :)

    Very good. It is extremely light weight, and easy to use, especially for school. Although, it is a tad slow. But for your moneys worth, you’re getting above and beyond!

    Great laptop. Got it for my high schooler and he learned to navigate through it really fast. Battery life is amazing. Sleek enough to fit in his backpack and the color blue is his favorite color so it made it even cooler.

    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.

    This was a good beginner laptop for my teen enrolled in college classes. It has lasted for a little over 2 years with little issues. (Recent issue is not all the letters on the keypad want to work properly) Overall not a bad computer for the price.

    I love this little laptop. I especially love the color and perfectly compact to tote with me. It was a bargain for less than $200. The only thing that bothers me is that a couple times it didn't power on unless I hold power button for a minute. I guess I will live with that because I passed the 14-day return period.

    Bought this laptop today looking to improve my time working since my old laptop was very slow at what i needed it to do for me and with this laptop i was able to work at least 80% faster and it was crazy!, ALSO!! 0 NOISE coming out from this computer so you can definitely work in peace with this device!.. i am looking forward for a nice working from home shift tomorrow and i would definitely recommend this computer to everyone in need of a business/work computer… the color is just amazing and very stylish btw!… also don’t forget to pair your purchase with an sd card for more memory for your documents or pics etc etc, it’s advertised as 64gb but after software and all the stuff it comes down to 33gb so keep that in mind!… + i bought the 25 dlls microsoft mice and it also works amazing! Overall it’s a GREAT laptop for the price and for the time im gonna need it and use it it will help me a lot!

    I needed a new school laptop after mine got damaged by water and decided to purchase this on. I have always had a HP brand and this specific one is my favorite color. The computer lags a bit (I’ve been told i have the fastest internet speed so im assuming it’s the computer? Idk) otherwise, it was affordable and easy to use.battery life is not good in my opinion .

    The laptop came well sealed, in excellent condition with a charger, it's like new, no damage. It was very easy to set up, I did it by myself following the instructions. The only problem i have the battery drop a little too fast. It's nothing I don't use it every day. I Added Photos for reference. If you need a second laptop, this one is a good choice (4GB memory, 64GB eMMC), great size, not big, good price.
