Pros and Cons

Asus Chromebook C425

Strengths

The performance wise internal wise I had no issue whatsoever with this chromebook
The core m3 8th gen processor so plenty of horsepower to do really anything I threw at it
With a 1080p screen the chromebook doesn't have to work quite as hard and I was able to get plenty of battery life as well easily in that 8 to 10 hour range
I would love to have seen this one with 128 gigs of storage since you're kind of lacking in a couple other areas it'd be nice that 128 was just kind of thrown in there
The internals here performed very very well had no issues with them
When paired up with eight gigs of ram and 64 gigs of internal storage I think devices in this price range so anywhere between four and six hundred dollars eight gigs of ram should be the the bottom line
Eight gigs of ram should be the bottom line there should not be four gig devices out there in this price bracket
It's going to get you through a day no problem you're not going to have to go hunting for a charger and finding electric outlets wherever you're working it does really great

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

HP Stream 14

Strengths

The overall design is great
Port selection is fantastic
The packaging, I should say, the shipping box didn't suck
The user experience within using the laptop wasn't horrible (a 4 out of 10)
With all that being said, guys, I appreciate every sub like and comment

Weaknesses

Windows four years of memory is not suitable for this laptop
The display is very reflective so keep that in mind if you intend to use it with any light source
The display causes eye strain because you have to have it at the perfect angle while looking at the laptop
You really can't do much on this laptop, four gigs of ram just chews up everything
It's not worth buying for anyone, get a Chromebook or wipe it and get Linux
