Stream 14” Laptop | Blue | Intel N4120 Processor | 4GB RAM | 128GB SSD

Bought this for my grandson and he absolutely loves it

Solid little machine. The price was very good and worked out of the box. Simple machine for a simple operator. Came with 365 installed for first year. It’s very light and as fast as I need, good battery life. Like all new machines took a while to set up but works perfectly. It’s not flashy but perfect for modest everyday tasks. I do find video jerky particularly when watching sky

I wanted to get a basic laptop to be able to do personal stuff on in preference to using my work laptop or the steam-driven 2016-vintage tower unit that I was still harbouring in a cupboard in my home office. Although the laptop is absolutely fine for basic use (and has the added bonus of a 12-month free subscription to M365), it’s not as quick as a more expensive model due to the use of a basic Celeron processors - plus there are a couple of serious compromises that you ought to know about if you’re hoping to get a laptop that you can chop and change with a more powerful, professional one. The first is the memory - it only has a 128gb SSD, and while I thought that would be ample, it doesn’t come close to saving all my accumulated photos over the years. I can live with this though, by keeping them on an external hard drive. The second (and more irksome) compromise is that although it has a USB-C port, this doesn’t power the laptop, nor does it recognise the two external monitors that I have plugged into a hub for my work laptop. Whilst I can still use a second monitor with it, by unplugging the HDMI lead for one of my monitors from the hub and into the laptop, and plug the power adapter into the laptop as well, it’s not the smooth swap-out process between my work and personal laptops that I was hoping for. Of course, these are definitely First World Problems and I know that you get what you pay for - I could have had the same functionality with a more expensive model, but I only wanted it for the basics. Nevertheless I did want to write this review so that others would know that if you’re looking for the same ability to switch machines seamlessly, you’ll need to go a little bit higher up the price range.

Typical HP product

Good

Slowest thing i've ever used. Has microsoft stuff installed that you can't get rid off which means you cant get onto google play and can only have microsoft approved apps. Absolutely useless. DO NOT BUY!!!

I’m not a massive IT buff but for the money this is perfect. I have limited requirements (emails, posters, team sheets and newsletters). This is perfect for me. I’m sure it covers a lot of other stuff that I don't need but it’s functional, good size and works well for me.

Good value laptop for under £160 - bought in Spring Sale. Needed to update a 10 year old laptop that had virtually given up the ghost. Smaller, lighter but very efficient. No problems getting set up & I separately bought & downloaded McAfee protection code easily. Bonus to have Microsoft Office for a year. Overall very pleased - suits my light-use needs. Seems to respond efficiently.

This laptop is painful. From the get go of turning in on it is so slow and freezes at tge slightest task. Useless!
