    It is a fine looking small computer. I got it to run frequency generators. It does that very well. I put a SD Micro in the slot and doubled its memory capacity so as to future-proof it. I dropped the "S" and reverted to Windows Home.

    I bought this little laptop, to help me in my shop with tuning applications, and it's proven to be more useful than anticipated. Now I use it for my browsing and email too.

    This is the second one of the HP Stream that I have purchased in the last 6 months and they are great. My 13 year old has one and my 9 year old has the other. No issues, good processing speed. So light and convenient.

    I still don’t love this computer. I’m glad I don’t have to do any type of school work on it, or I’d be mad. It is very slow. Extremely slow. I thought it was my WiFi at first, but I connected a different network and it was still slow. It’s good to have just in case you need it, but it’s not ideal if you have to do any work.

    its an amazing looking laptop. Sound is great and the keyboard is easy on the hands but thats it. This laptop can handle video chats/video games/ and most importantly it aint easy to use when doing online hw assignments... bit slow. Even youtube takes longer than expected. Mix feeling about this laptop
