This is a great little computer perfect size great for travel or taking to school or the cafe. Good sound. Good basic memory. Better because it isnt chrome but similar pricing. Still can do everything but the only drawback is it isn't a touchscreen so if ypur computer gets slow or glitches because of the good I'm internet you still have to rely on the fine point of the mouse pad arrow. Other than that its fine and would probably run better if I had a good internet connection most of the time. Good for the amount you pay for not being chrome runs like new.

I selected this notebook style because it is thin, lightweight, has multiple ports, and was easy to set up. I have only had it for a month or so but so far it has been fast and reliable. The only real issue so far was getting it to allow me to change my default browser to Google but I eventually got it done.

I bought this as an extra computer as a Best Buy special ($99). Never opened it until I had to move and consolidate space. After opening it, this thing goes with me whenever I travel. It is fast, powerful, great battery life. It is now my "main computer" lol.
It gets the job done for word processing and internet access. 90% people don't do more than that with their PC.

I wanted a small quad core laptop with 4gb ram for portability and to do some light work. This fit my requirements perfectly. WiFi performance is good and the screen an keyboard are okay. You can also play some great games on it, dead cells, pixel junk games, Celeste...
Has a slot for a storage card.
The price is great for what you get!

I was excited about receiving this laptop as I wanted something small. It was actually smaller than I expected, but was still cute. The quality of the pictures on the screen is poor, like fuzzy and dim. I tried changing the brightness and it didn’t help with anything. Also, I’m not able to download Google Chrome or other apps and it says I have to change out of S mode and if this is done I won’t be able to to change it back. I would recommend going to a store to buy versus ordering online just so you will know exactly how the computer will look and operate. Overall, it gets the job done but the picture quality sucks.

I bought this for my daughter to easily take with her to class at college. She loves it. While it takes some getting used to since the keyboard is small, she loves the fact that she can put it in her backpack and it's not lunky and heavy; Processor is pretty good for a small machine.

I got this computer for my son earlier this year when Covid hit as a means to do his e learning. He is 13 and it’s the perfect size for him. Only con is that there isn’t sufficient space on it... he likes to game so i ended up having to get an external hard drive for him. Other than that he’s been pretty happy With it. Super light weight and easy to travel with due to its size.

Wish I had got a faster chip and more memory. It says minimum 5 characters. How many do you really want me to type in? Poor programming. I did it for 30 years. Need help? Sure looks like it. 9 characters? huh?

I love the size of this device, however, it is a bit slow. I'm uncertain if it is because it was loaded with Windows S. I have tried to by pass it without 100% luck.

The HP streams is a nice, fully functional laptop. The built in keyboard is lovely, and the speed and responsive of this laptop is great too. The only drawbacks is it’s limited memory, and it not having the power to run too many heavy applications. Other than those things, it’s awesome!

I bought this as a present for my niece to go to college. It's light, good processor and screen.
Had some issues with downloading chrome, but could do it, it works fine and meets her needs. It shipped fast.
Need to clarify it is Windows S. It shipped to my billing addres instead of the shipping address that's why I didn't give it the 5 stars.
