HP Stream Laptop PC 11.6" Intel N4000 4GB DDR4 SDRAM 32GB eMMC Includes Office 365 Personal for One Year

Comment

This is a good little laptop. Its little and its fast! Its perfect for web browsing, creating/editing office documents. On my next travel, I would definitely carry it with me. The only downside (which Im okay with, as I dont use it for more than just the above) is the storage space. After doing a clean Windows 10 install and setting up MS Office, I ended up with a little over 12GB of free storage. I would recommend this little laptop to anyone looking to do some web surfing and office work. Note: The laptop I received had a bump on the lower-right side of the cover. I dont know if this is by design or a defect, but it can be a bit annoying.

I was hoping that this machine would behave well under Linux, and so far, it has. Everything works. Sound, GPU, Wifi, battery detection, suspend. Its exactly what I needed. A simple, small, light, long battery life laptop to do software development on at a Dennys without lugging around my very heavy Thinkpad and unplugging it from everything. Keyboard does not have a lot of travel or feedback, but strangely, its actually a LOT better than most cheap laptops. Touch typists will like this machine, as long as they arent mechanical keyboard cultists. I was wary of HP machines in recent years as I had heard they had gotten quite bad, but this has been a surprisingly good experience so far. Not only is secure boot easily disabled and doesnt require an admin password (looking at you, Acer), but it also provides legacy/CSM BIOS emulation support, in case UEFI isnt your thing. eMMC storage speed is phenominal, even if theres only 32GB of space. Im using a heavily compressed Btrfs partition for my root filesystem, so I can manage. This machine exceeded my expectations. Its not perfect, the build quality, while better than I expected, still leaves a bit to be desired. It seems to attract crumbs and grime like a magnet, which is annoying, and the touchpad is NOT particularly sensitive, which gets annoying quickly. You need more pressure than you should to get its attention so you can move the cursor. HP, if youre reading this, youve done well. A slight thing that you did in one previous machine that you should do again: allow booting from microSD. Thats a very useful feature.

I recently was in the market for a new workbook / laptop, I have owned several high-end Macbooks in the past but was in search of something simply for browsing, streaming and word editing without spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars. I was reluctant at first to purchase this product because of Windows 10, but once you get the hang of it it really isnt that bad. The laptop comes preloaded with Windows S mode but prior to the previous review all you have to due is enable the full Windows 10 version in the settings which does not cost you a penny more other than using more store. For example with nothing other than Windows 10 full version + google chrome my laptop only has about 8GBs left of free space which in and of itself is not surprising. This laptop comes with 2x USB 2.0 inputs, while theyre not 3.0 like some of the more expense chromebooks I dont really have the need for this as most of my information / data is stored on the cloud, which this includes 1 year free with up-to 1TB of storage, a great freebie. The laptop also comes with Windows Office Home edition for a full year for free which was a great surprise and money saver. It also comes standard with a HDMI output and micro sd which is amazing to help bump up the storage on this little guy. Currently have the micro SD slot filled with a 64BG chip from an old gopro and have just loaded it up with movies, music and TV shows. My favorite thing about this laptop other than the cost, has to be the size, weight and battery life. Compared to some of the bigger counterparts offered this is absolutely perfect for close range use like when on a plane, train or back-seat of the car because the screen is just big enough it doesnt hurt your eyes staring at it for too long. My least favorite thing so far about this laptop has to be the screen not having a good anti-glare setup on it and while this isnt that bad to deal with it, it does get annoying in heavily lighted areas :( Otherwise, for the cost of this laptop I would happily purchase another, between the laptop + extended 2yr warranty the total for this product was roughly $210. Best $210 I have ever spent without the hassle of worrying about spending $700-$1500 on a laptop and picking the wrong one or disliking the product over all. If this laptop lasts me for the 2 years of my warranty than that is fine by me this is the perfect little travel companion for anyone who is on the road and tired of lugging around big heavy laptops that battery life barely exceed 6 hours when using for streaming more or less data editing. This laptop while streaming Netflix/Hulu/Etc, seems to last me about 10-12 hours without dying! I have yet to drain the battery significantly while doing word processing on it. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who needs a little laptop to travel with, or something for home use when you want to sit on the sofa and not have to be plugged in or burn your legs to a crisp!

Thought I ordered an 14 inch Instead it was a 11.1 Im used to working with 15.6 or more But the fact remains I love this little laptop until once again Ill have to purchase another Out of window- S mode Probally 2 min license switch to windows 10 home And honestly brought because it installed 4 gig ram So now I can run my professional software and use at ease Extremely satisfied Even that its connected to any thing Bluetooth or Wi-Fi enabled devices around Extra Micro SD card will do.. USB hub will be needed if other devicesir controls are needed simultaneously

My daughter received this as a Christmas present. She needed her own laptop for school work. And she loves it. Easy to surf the web, check her emails and do school assignments. The only thing was that we had difficulty with Microsoft 10 not letting us download Chrome. It took a lot of time to figure it out. Other than that its a great laptop for a first time user.

This is exactly what I was looking for, a nice small lightweight computer to take with me when I want to do some writing outside of my home. I just got it so I havent used it too much yet but so far, it works great. The screen is small but I can use MS Word and change the font size for easier viewing. It has two USB ports. The screen has beautiful crisp color. Great price from HP. My home computer is an HP, I love their products.

The screen had a big black spot that was the size of a half dollar and looked like it may spread further on to the screen asking to return at your expense for defective item.

I AM VERY SAD. I have been so excited all week waiting for this computer to arrive. I opened it tonight and was pleased to see that it was very nicely packaged in its original HP box. I charged it up, turned it on, and OH NOOOO THERE IS A BIG DEAD SPOT ON THE SCREEN!! I bought this item for the sole purpose of using it for digital art. I can not use it if theres a big ol patch of dead pixels in the way. Im returning it and will buy a different laptop from a different vendor. So disappointing. I do not recommend.

Had to return first unit. Space bar would often not register a keystroke. Amazon quickly sent a replacement. Basic computer. Needed something cheap to throw in my backpack or browse online while on the couch and this fit the bill. Wish HP offered a 6gb memory version, 4 is just barely enough to run windows and a few browser tabs. Other than that works great.
