HP stream 11-ah005na 11.5-Inch Laptop - (Blue) (Intel N3060, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB eMMC, Intel HD Graphics 400, Windows 10 Home)

Bought these as a gift for my cousin and he really loves it . The first reason that I bought it is that , it was being sold at a very good price and I didn’t have too much expectations but I was pleasantly surprised about the quality and screen life of this. It has a very good battery life and was very useful for my cousins education . It would have been more better if it had free Microsoft office 365 with it but we can always use google docs and power points and those online tools instead . So overall very good.

We bought it for my 7 years old daughter for homework and basic internet search. Perfect size and weight. Very good screen resolution and battery life. Sometimes slightly slow in internet browsing but is very good value for money. She loves it!

i normally only write reviews when i'm pissed, but this product deserves some praise, especially at the discount price i've got it for. the many bad reviews are all to do with running windows on a machine with 32gb storage and limited processing power! whoever came up with that idea must be insane! instead, i haven't even touched the installed windows, but have replaced it with Lubuntu 18.04 on the very first run. wiped the laptop completely and ended up with an awesome machine that is a joy to use! remember, it must be 18.04 if you want everything to work out of the box! pros: thin, lightweight, large bright screen, small bezzel, really nice design, decent keyboard, track pad feels awkward but gets better with use... cons: quality not as good as with previous streams! sd card doesn't click and lock, so no longer ideal for memory expansion! there is no power light on the power button. all the external connectors seem rushed and are difficult to use. speakers often produce horrible high pitched noise, probably due to being made too small to handle the power. in conclusion: for the price, i can't complain! once Lubuntu is installed, it really does everything I want it to do, and does it good! the only thing it could handle better are hd videos running at 60fps. up to 720p@60fps or up to 1080p@30fps everything is fine, above that it struggles as i think Lubuntu doesn't make use of on-board gpu. although given the screen resolution there is no need to go above 720! for the smoothest youtube experience i recommend using sm player and sm youtube extension. there, even the contrast, saturation etc. can be adjusted... liberty office is way easier to use than office 365! you don't need to register and it's free! so is most other stuff for linux. Lubuntu is very customisable, looks better than windows. so there's my advice. don't be stuck with windows.

It's ok just really slow but will do for my sons first notebook

This was bought for basic emailing, office stuff, word documents, that sort of thing. So far it does everything well. It comes with Office 365 which you have to pay for after a while. I chose to uninstall this and put on an earlier Microsoft Office package to avoid the repeat fees. I also chose not to have the 1TB of cloud storage as I prefer to have my data actually on my computer, so I put a high quality 32GB micro SD card in the slot and doubled the storage. I can't really fault anything so far!

Great little machine for streaming, browsing and email. But do not buy it. There is not enough memory to install updates for Windows and you will be unable to wipe the hard drive to recycle/dispose of it due to a lack of internal memory. HP claim they know nothing of this issue but the product is quite old now, so I find that hard to believe. I'm plagued by Microsoft update pop ups which I cannot action due to lack of internal memory.

Lightweight, which is very good. Great laptop for the price, you can’t go wrong, and you get office 365 for 12 months, which is really helpful. The white looks great. The keyboard is great. Overall very happy and if your after a cheap laptop then this is the one to buy. You will not be disappointed.

When I was looking at one of these 'cloud based' laptops in the shops a stranger said to me, "don't buy it" and gave me some reason I didn't really take notice of. I wish I had! Even though there is a video of how to make space on the laptop, I did this many times and still could not download Chrome or any updates. The only thing it has been useful for was travelling (as I didn't care if it got lost or stolen!) and watching movies, even though web pages tend to take ages to load. Zoom and Facebook video do not work at all. I couldn't even load a video onto Facebook that was only 4 minutes long. I reverted back to using my work laptop (with an i5 processor) for important personal things as it was more reliable but the whole point in buying this was to keep work and personal things separate. After one year, I have decided that I can no longer deal with the frustration of waiting for web pages to load and have bought a new laptop. I would suggest doing your research online before buying and Curry's has a great tool for figuring out what kind of laptop you should buy for your needs.
