Having a <strong>14\u2019\u2019 display<\/strong>, this laptop can be considered one of the best out there with its configuration.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, you can also have an account of more than <strong>100GB free cloud storage on OneDrive<\/strong> for you to store and access your data anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, HP Stream with Windows 8.1 can enable users to work with <strong>Microsoft Office programs<\/strong> such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint, which are already popular and familiar to us.<\/p>\n<p>The laptop runs with a battery capacity of <strong>2960mAH<\/strong>, and you may want to connect it with a power socket to continuously use.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p>The HP Stream has a good quality audio system with <strong>Beats Audio<\/strong> and <strong>four speakers<\/strong> to produce sound. It also has a <strong>HD camera<\/strong> that atcs as a webcam, which is great for video calling on Skype. The laptop is also equipped with a <strong>multi touch trackpad<\/strong> and enables Windows 8.1 trackpad gestures.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Some minor drawbacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of the problems with this device is the <strong>display<\/strong>. Though it runs on Windows 8.1, it does<strong> not<\/strong> have a<strong> touch screen<\/strong>. We all know Windows 8.1 can only perform at its fullest on a touch screen device. This version of HP Stream can not afford to be equipped with one due to the low price.<\/p>\n<p>Another disadvantage is that the HP Stream only has <strong>32GB or 64GB of internal storage<\/strong> on the solid state drive. For extension of data usage, you will have to have an SD card or an external hard drive. The use of SSD instead of a usual hard drive has its pros though, such as improving the laptop\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>HP announces that there will be an enhanced version with HD quality.<\/p>\n<h2>HP Stream Notebook PC Specs<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>1.0GHz &#8211; 1.6GHz Quad Core AMD A4 Micro-6400T Processor<\/li>\n<li>Windows 8.1 Operating System<\/li>\n<li>14.0-Inch HD Display (1366 x 768 Pixels)<\/li>\n<li>Non-touch with SVA Anti-Glare Coating<\/li>\n<li>AMD Radeon R3 Integrated Graphics<\/li>\n<li>2GB of RAM<\/li>\n<li>32 or 64GB Internal SSD Storage<\/li>\n<li>Expandable via SDXC Card Slot<\/li>\n<li>HP TrueVision HD Webcam<\/li>\n<li>Beats Audio with Four Speakers<\/li>\n<li>Wi-Fi 802.11b\/g\/n<\/li>\n<li>Miracast<\/li>\n<li>Bluetooth 4.0<\/li>\n<li>USB 3.0 Port<\/li>\n<li>2 x USB 2.0 Ports<\/li>\n<li>3.5mm Audio Jack<\/li>\n<li>2,960mAh Li-ion Battery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"31e97817518902a1d132cf665aa26f91\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7613953952\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HP Stream Windows 8.1 is launched as rival to Chromebook As Windows 8.1 is the latest version of Windows operating system, a lot laptops and notebooks being released have this OS installed.
