Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

SECOND PURCHASE ... Have one Blue (for myself) and one Orchid (as a gift). Unpacked my new HP Stream 13 yesterday and spent about 5 or 6 hours configuring, loading up, accessorizing and enjoying the HECK out of this little marvel. Put it through the paces, and got a grasp on it's abilities & limitations. First things first ... this looks ... FANTASTIC. The photos do not do it justice, it is absolutely beautiful to the eye and to the touch. I've read a few reviews complaining about the "toy colors", most of whom are not verified owners (many of whom are technical "experts" who own nothing but review everything). I brought this to a Coffee Shop this morning, fired it up and had several people come by my table to ask "Wow! what is that" ... "Where do you get a laptop like that" ... "Who makes it" ... "Wow!". It only took 5 minutes to KNOW, it would be my permanent chromebook replacement (have put the chromebook on craigslist). The complimentary year of Office 365, being able to PRINT something without going through all the complicated google work-around hoops and (most importantly), being able to Install Programs of my choosing. Here are the worst things I can say about this: 1. Display ... it does not have the sharpest display in the world. At 1366 X 768 pixels on a 13-inch screen, it will not look as sharp as your primary laptop or desktop monitor. In my view, when weighed against the price and benefits, I can easily live with this. 2. Hard Drive Storage ... at 32 GB onboard storage, you'll have to use your space wisely. The OS will gobble up some of that of course. After installing a slew of my favorite Apps and Paint Shop Pro 7 (the original one), Antivirus program and a few others, I've got about 15 GB left. It does have a Micro SD slot, and I've added 64 GB card to mine. I also bought an External Hard Drive, which I'll plug in and use when downloading movies, photos, music, etc. A beautiful, inexpensive WD drive ... and its BLUE! I've attached a photo of the external drive with this review. 3. Two GB or System RAM ... this means you probably won't be running some of the more system-hungry programs, as you do on your primary PC. In my case, this means not having PSP X7 photo editing, limited movie editing. If you can live with those limitations, and use this as it was intended (secondary laptop, Student use, chromebook replacement, etc.), you've got it made. I'm using a very nice Logitech (blue) mouse with this, rather than the touchpad, so I'm not able to provide useful information as to the touchpad's usefulness ... only that my limited experience with it has not shown any of the great deficiencies I've been reading about in various online reviews. Keyboard is GREAT. I love the feel, the level of tactile response, comfort and spacing (also love the white color). I have attached a photo of the keyboard to this review, Here's the bottom line: You get a fully-functional Laptop computer with 32GB onboard storage, 2GB of RAM, MS Office 365, a $25 voucher to the Windows Store ... all of this in a Beautiful, compact package ... and at what I consider to be "Tablet Money" - about what you'd expect to pay for a nice 7 or 8-inch tablet. How in the WORLD can you go wrong on this? Fantastic. Thank you HP, thank you Amazon! .....
