One of my favourite tech KZfaqrs on here. Love your videos!

Love love love this video!! Review!! Thankyou I was literally going to buy this today and it’s a hell no. They should be ashamed to sell such junk . Looking forward to more laptop reviews . Btw cracked me up when you saw how much ram was being used

I just got this today played around with it and I love it this works great for my 3rd work at home job I have 👍🏾

I literally just bought this computer like an hour ago and am watching this video before I decide to open it. The lack of speed is concerning.

Got this laptop as a gift and been watching reviews, tbh now that I've got it up and running it's not too bad but more ram is definitely needed. I'll see tomorrow if it helps but it's a decent machine if you wanna do basic websurfing and I like how there isn't too much give and flex as you'd expect for this price.

Loving you channel mate, keep it up. FYI for anyone - on the vertical 720p is actually HD, FULL HD is what you call 1080p, SD (DVD) is 576P and 4K (Ultra HD) is 2060P on the vertical. Lol, 10yrs in the consumer electronics trade gets you pedantic about what is use less info to most people 😂.

camera and mic where why i was interested in buying! Wanted a skype, teams, zoom laptop. thanks for helping me avoid a bust!

Just got this computer 2 day’s ago, I’ve used it twice and so far it’s not that bad.

Hey man, great video. I think it would be nice if you did a survey on KZfaq and your other platforms to further identify what contents people are looking forward to. Great video.

Bro I just subscribed you are funny af good video 😭🔥

Mine runs really smooth with a clean install of W11. I have a spare SD card that I use for storage. As far as cheap laptops go, this is one of the best I've used. The RAM does suck though. I wish they put in at least 6 gigs...

I understand you wanting to stick with a name brand laptop for their reputation but Walmart also sells an extremely nice selection of Gateway laptops that they exclusively get from Acer, who actually owns the rights to the Gateway name and they licensed it out to various manufactures) but the specs, as well as the features, are really a great value! I got a 15.6 LTP screen with really nice viewing angles, a AMD Ryzen 7 3700U, quad core, 8 thread, CPU with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage and 10 battery life for just $279 plus tax! I am not usually very fond of Windows but this one done a decent job with Windows 11 and all in all I am fairly impressed with it's performance!

I have a similar one that came with W10S, which I converted to W10 Home & it was tolerable. Windows 11 is markedly slower. However, it runs really snappily on Linux Mint XFCE or Xubuntu. It would probably be good with Chrome OS Flex as well.

memory usage is attributed to caching, it pre-loads files when it has some free memory to do so, and frees it up when active apps require it. How they say - unused ram is wasted ram.

I really like the central trackpad. I really can't stand even slightly off center pads. I always click the wrong button. I might have to grab one of those for simple tasks while traveling. Pop a lightweight linux distro on it and it'll fly I bet.

I've had this for 3 years now and honestly is really good if you take care of it(I didint and it broke only cause I dropped it a dozen times the past 3 years)but it's not a gaming laptop but you can play low storage games and speed on this is good after a while so yea

in the next video you should see if you can add ram to it and then see the difference

OMG I need to view your videos daily, Your informational and silly. I enjoyed your review so much! OMG when you notice that 70% of the 4gb ram was being used and nothing was open and running at the desktop face value hahahahhahA that was hilarious! I'm now invested in your channel! LOL ( My twins broke 2 sets of HP STREAMS lol but it was only $199 new,, $119 used, I cared but not really. My heavy handed twin's must be their audience for this branch of hp lol)

I have one of these. I'm using it right now to write this comment. I added another 4 GB of RAM, wiped Windows from the eMMC and installed Manjaro Linux. For additional storage I just installed a 256 GB SD card. Has worked for over 18 months now flawlessly as a daily driver and travel laptop. Do yourself a favor and learn Linux - runs these cheap laptops so much better than bloated Windows.

The motherboard smells good, jajaja, I like your video!!

Seems like the HP Stream laptop is struggling a bit with Windows 11 and its 4GB of RAM. The display issues and slow setup process don't sound very promising either. Thanks for the honest review and sharing your experience with this budget-friendly laptop!

polignano a mare is a place in Puglia, south east of Italy. a place worth visiting!

the freddie kruegar knife bro.

I wonder how much of the speed issues are caused by hp bloat ware taking up most the available memory resources. A fresh copy of windows would probably make a world of difference

Now that you can flash chrome I'm curious how it would run on this laptop

Used think pad laptops from a couple years back would be great.

i bought this a while ago and i thought it was my wifi , and the amount of frustration i had with myself because of this laptop is unbelievable. i should’ve looked at the GB before getting this . Good job on the vid though

Good video overall. 5:05 C'mon now, that "slowness" out of the box is because Windows is INSTALLING, not booting. That's a one-time event while Windows settles in, searches for new hardware drivers and updates. Subsequent boots are MUCH faster, you should say that and show that. These Stream 14s are capable computers for general use, I have several and use them for teaching programming and they work just fine. The laptop comes with some pre-installed HP bloatware, it will be snappier if you wipe the SSD and do a clean Win 11 install. You can swap in an 8GB RAM module for better performance. External USB storage and/or cloud storage should be used. As you know, this Celeron N4000, 4GB/64GB are the bare minimums to run Windows 11, and Windows takes ~30GB by itself. That Windows size will inevitably grow as future updates gobble up more SSD space, as happened with Windows 10.

8:03 when you take a break from the PC and wanna do more outdoor activities but then go through this exact same thought process lmao.

I’ve had this for 6 years now and to be honest it’s really good...

Hey, that is a perfect laptop for Linux OS

I got this for school and a little web cam on the side it’s a nice size I agree it does love a little slow but not to the point I am regretting my purchase… it’s easy to set up I think hp overall makes good quality items.. I would like to be able to download more apps but I guess that’s just a Microsoft thing other than that I have no complaints I have had them lap top for 3 weeks now

I took my chromebook back and got this due to it not being compatible with windows apps. Just need it for school.

I just got this pc for school, I wanted this Asus Vivobook but it was sold out and my budget was super tight. I took it out of S mode and cleaned up any bloatware. Its not the quickest thing but out of S mode it's pretty quick. My major complaint is the storage and the ram. It'll definitely need an upgrade immediately. Other than that I've used it off and on for school and game streaming. It does okay, I would keep it to only that.

watched this video on the same laptop but i upgraded the ram and done alot of tweaking to it but its a very good laptop and runs 4k videos on brave browser so much better GG

To get it working I change the SO to LocOs, from 126mb of free space I get 8gb, my model had 16GB OF DD

All i want a laptop to do is run a webcam for tabletop gaming . Is this suitable? No streaming or editing, just pretty much something as part of a spelltable setup.

I may buy this & add Tiny 11 to it as an experiment

My previous laptop was just like this with 4gb of ram. Luckily there was an open 4gb ram slot. The 20 dollar upgrade was well worth it. Honestly the only chrome books should be shipped with 4gb of ram nowadays

For a travel laptop, I recently bought a refurbished 13” MacBook Air for $179 that’s perfect for most people who need something simple. Plus it will actually have capable components. This thing looks unusable 🙃

What is your video/audio setup in making this video if you don’t mind me asking. 2 cameras for sure? Mic? Switch on the fly? Or edited?

I feel like a computer should meet these basic requirements * have at 3 tabs in chrome with minimal lag * playback 1080p60 Video (h.264, hevc) with minimal hitching, lag or dropped frames * handle the Microsoft Office Suite with minimal slowdown * Handle Adobe Acrobat Reader with minimal issue * Play Light Games (minecraft, roblox, sims 4, fornight) with playable framerates * handle light photo editing (brightness, contrast, saturation, basic text) * be able to handle a zoom call with minimal lag * have a usable keyboard and mouse * have a webcam with 720p quality * have a display with reasonable viewing angles and at least 1080P res Any computer that doesnt meet these requirements are just E-WASTE thats obsolete the minute you buy it. and as such pcs need to have a quad core processor, 8gb of ram, and a 128gb ssd

I tried an hp laptop like that and that strange eye strain thing was what made me return it

I’m getting this laptop for school cuz I hate using the Chromebook’s at school I might try to upgrade the ram if I can to make it a bit faster for work

They also offer higher RAM options like 16gb

What do you think of this for college classes? Or which laptop would you recommend? Not too expensive lol

that smelling test 😂

Hello from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park...a friend is buying me this to edit my KZfaq video and I've never used a laptop before... Question, will I understand this and not be annoyed? Lol. Great job!

Would this laptop be good for college work? Just homework and research basically

I love your laptop videos, however, 1366x768 is HD resolution, HD+ is 1600x900, and FHD is 1920x1080. I hope this helps for future reference, overall I still like the video. :)

Mr. Dayo what if I purchase this Laptop an a 1 terabyte memory hard drive, would it make a difference?

I've heard that the HP Stream was slow & this proves it.

I use to have an hp stream with windows 10 with 32 gb of storage, I wiped that thing so many times.

I have no idea what is causing that laptop to be so slow when it's hardly doing anything. I have an Asus laptop that I paid $140. I purchased it for travel. Mine is 11.6 inches, Windows 11, Intel Celeron N4020 processor, 4 gb Ram, 64 gb Storage, Wifi 5. My little Asus laptop certainly can't compare to a $800+ laptop BUT I am blown away with the performance of this little PC. It has a great responsive keyboard and I have no problem staying connected to the internet. Web pages load quickly as do MS programs with no lag. KZfaq and video streaming sites play flawlessly. MS Office runs just as well as it does on my more expensive PC. The screen is matte which helps to compensate some but it is not enough to be a deal breaker. The one thing I wish Asus would have not skimped so much on is the video camera -it doesn't need to be the best -but average would be nice. All in all I am not going to complain. I have a very responsive zippy little laptop and it even comes with an open SSD slot to add a NVMe.2 to increase storage up to 500 gb. Just remember before you purchase a PC whatever kind no matter the price rang, be sure to do your homework and know exactly what you are buying. Compare prices and watch and read several reviews. Hopefully your research will payoff and you will be satisfied with your purchase. If not make sure the seller excepts returns before you buy. I'd also stay far away from these HP Stream laptops. Not sure why but they have negative reviews.

Can’t get a 2nd monitor to extend on this - or any adapter to work. Is there a dock station that will actually work to extend to 2 monitors?

I like it I'm going to use it for my yt channel and etc

Any HP laptop that you do recommend?

my aunt got this laptop for me as gift its been todays and my laptop is almost full from just download art programs

Would this be okay for school use?

Isn’t the Celeron a rebranded Atom processor? They didn’t run windows 7 starter worth a dang!

Very entertaining video, thanks! 💜 About that “HD” label: Strictly speaking 1366x768 resolution on a 14” screen results in rougly 110ppi, which is considered to be High Density. Even 720p (1280x720) falls within the “HD” defenition, according to Wikipedia. HD is a TV-standard. It’s not the best indicator to use for computer screens - if you ask me. But indeed, nowadays I think 99% of viewers would agree you’d expect to get 1920x1280 when the label says “HD”.

i had the 2016 version of this with soldered 2GB RAM on an Intel Celeron N3040 and it barely worked lol

are you able to dowload games or apps on it, i’m trying to buy one for my son next week and wanted to know if you can download games etc.

It's real HD (actually slightly better), just not FHD (Full HD). HD is 1280x720p FHD is 1920x1080p That laptop is 1366x768p, which TBH is about average for a normal cheap/older laptop.

I just got this. I have installed nothing. I forgot my password. Is there a way to reset the computer?

If I want to just use it to play The Sims 4 would that be okay? I have a Chrome book and it doesn't run The Sims. All I want a laptop for it that.

my parents got this in blue for the family and i am literally typing on this rn... its decent

If it had 16 gb would it be faster?

That EMMC is worse than an HDD actually. An HDD would often be about the same speed as the EMMC, but with a much larger capacity... as well as being replaceable/upgradeable. EMMC though, is typically soldered on directly to the motherboard and cannot be easily replaced/upgraded.

Would it be able to run VRChat to Twitch?

I wiped Windows and installed a Linux distro called Solus 4.3 - the performance is dramatically improved. I was even able to play a 720p KZfaq video with good quality with 9 tabs open in the Opera browser. This isn't even remotely possible with Windows.

This is on sale for $129 right now

11:41 That's what she said!!!! 🎁

What's your take on the Lenovo IdeaPad S145?

What is out there similar that you suggest to get and it is actually good?

Shocking it's totally shocking 😃

Companies in general should make 4 GB laptops come with Chrome OS Flex

Do you know when the computer was realeasd ?

I just want it to watch sports any thoughts ? Should I get it

Nice knife

Did anyone upgrade their RAM to 8gb? If so did you notice a performance difference?

Anything above 480 vertical is HD.

Um idk if any one is seeing this but can someone tell me if the HP Stream 14" HD 1366 x 768 Laptop - Intel N4120, 64GB, 4GB, Window 11, Office 365 - Rose Gold is good for gameing?

Can you play sims 4 on this labtop ?

HD is only 720

1080p is Full HD

the sniffing had me wheezing 💀subbed

I got it the other day. It's sooooooo bad 😢 i have to return it!!!

I got a Chromebook for free. I liked it but Chromebooks aren't great I can't run anything until I ran up to this cheap laptop in Walmart and I am going to plan to save money and buy it. Thanks for the review!

Great video! Are you able to change ZOOM virtual backgrounds with this laptop?

Well for me Walmart has the best ground beef and meat selection. 😆 I would not think of getting a laptop there but they also have good TV's Nice video.

Thank fedex for that

Mine is so slow and take a while till let me click on anything and take longer to respond and open, we bought it couple months ago and I barely use it why it’s slow? Does Microsoft account make it slow?

careful.there are places like that in America. Great review by the way : )

Mine crash today I bought it in 2020😢. It turns on but black screen.

For 200$ and less this is a pretty basic, good laptop.

Well if you can upgrade ram memory processor boom gaming laptop

Tbh, i feel like windows is the most UNOPTIMIZED for no reason, like back in 2017, I had a computer from 2007 with a Intel Celeron (SINGLE CORE MIGHT I ADD), 3gb ddr2, a 160gb mechanical hard drive and intel gma graphics, and windows 10 ran quite well on it. Windows has just gotten so bloated and slow, that mainstream pcs are slow with it.

I am primarily going to use this computer to copy my iTunes library to this computer. Does it have a decent speed while transferring files to this computer?

I have a Acer with the Celeron and man its the same very slow😢
