I was apprehensive about buying this computer based on some of the poor reviews. However, this computer works wonderfully. It is lightweight with fast browsing, comes loaded with office 365, packs a great picture quality, decent sound and has a long battery life. I bought a 64GB Samsung SD card to go with this product and changed the storage settings to always save to SD. I also already had a wireless mouse, so I can’t really comment on the touchpad.

What I can say is that I’m very surprised at how well this little PC operates. Which is quite hard to do (surprise me) as I am a full time networking student and PT freelance programmer.

We bought this computer last October to use as a light media internet computer in Argentina. Its size and weight were the principle reasons for buying it. All was well until the large new update to windows 10 from Microsoft appeared. The 32 gig hard drive is too small. After several update that preceded the very large update that came in Dec or Jan there is literally no space left. The new large update can’t install. I’ve tried to stop it from attempting to install,with help from a Microsoft tech support person, but it continues to try and fail. This computer is useless with the amount of space left even with removing almost every App possible. It should not be sold to anyone with out letting them know that this problem exists. When I bought it the problem didn’t exist, but by now everyone should be aware of it. Don’t buy this computer. There is no fix. I bought a hard drive that would take the place of the WiFi card only to find that my model had changed the connection type and I couldn’t use it. I am stuck with a computer with an operating system that can’t update and that has no space left on the hard drive.

To start: I paid $159.99 for this (refurbished). I purchased this so I could be a bit more flexible in my location for doing college homework, work, and freelance writing without being tied to my desktop 24/7. The white color scheme is just a visual pleasure (opinion), and it really gives a feeling of a MUCH more expensive machine. In fact, you wouldn’t look TOO out of place among the Mac users if you wanted to pack it up and head to your local coffee shop! If you’re buying this to play modern games, well obviously you’re going to be disappointed, but I’m willing to bet this can play almost anything 10 years or older. While I haven’t tried any actual PC games of that era, I’ve done a bit of emulation consisting of NES/SNES/N64/PSX and they’ve all ran flawlessly. Grab yourself a nice Bluetooth controller and you’ve got quite a bit of (retro) gaming on the go!

There are those that complain about the storage, and I’ll admit, it’s a bit sparse at stock, but with the advent of tiny USB 3.0 thumb drives that nearly sit flush with the port, as well as SD cards, there should be no issues in the long run. I do recommend, however, to download Windows 10 from Microsoft and make a USB installer, wiping the contents of the drive, and then installing fresh. You’ll find some quite unnecessary bloatware when you first receive it, and when you’re working with a low powered machine like this the last thing you want is unwarranted background tasks eating your resources!

Another item I wanted to touch on is the screen. At 14″, 720p is ON THE VERGE of being too low, but it serves its purpose just fine. Had the device incorporated a 1080p display, the added pixels would just bog the integrated graphics down even more along with draining extra battery. This thing is meant to be portable, and the stellar battery life is awesome, so the screen compromise is well worth it. If things are too big, you can adjust the sizes of elements within Windows 10, as well as the zoom level in most browsers.

Finally, on the topic of productivity — mainly the keyboard and trackpad. I was shocked by the quality of the keys at such a low price! While I realize this computer was something like $299 new at launch, even at that price I’d consider this a very nice keyboard/trackpad. I’ve experienced no missed clicks or keystrokes, nor input delay of any kind!

All in all, a super awesome buy if you want something basic and aesthetically pleasing for a GREAT price!

The computer came in perfect condition, not one scratch on it!!! I love the color too!!! It runs a little slow but I only use it for school right now so it definitely gets the job done 😊 Also it’s extremely lightweight. It’s worth every penny 💵

I decided to get this refurbished HP Stream laptop because I had such a good experience with my last refurb. I’m really glad I did! You’d never know it’s not brand new. And it’s perfect for what it’s designed for – Internet, social media, office work, Amazon. I installed and use my data analysis software for work with no issues, plenty of speed.

This computer IS inexpensive and lightweight. It comes with a 1 year subscription to Microsoft Office. It functions. It DOES NOT come with enough internal memory to maintain Windows 10 operating system updates. I deleted much of the bloatware – INCLUDING using DOS prompt to delete system files that were inaccessible through the wizard – still not enough space. I save EVERYTHING I am allowed to a SD Card – still not enough space. Shoppers, I use this laptop 90{98880d97af0555a3a517c8aae666eeb64e7bd6d49cbbe05617dcb138f6e48200} of the time to get ONLINE to shop and pay bills. Literally, most of the time time this computer is on I have a browser open and NOTHING ELSE. The other 10{98880d97af0555a3a517c8aae666eeb64e7bd6d49cbbe05617dcb138f6e48200} is to use MS Office software. THAT’S IT AND I EXPERIENCE HEAVY LAGGING. I switched from a google cloud notebook to this so I could get MS Office functionality again – NOT WORTH IT. The only solution now is to upgrade my internal memory – a prohibitive cost that defeats the purpose of buying a computer in this price range. Listen to us about how little memory this thing has and choose something else.
