Pros and Cons

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

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go

Weaknesses

Performance can be sluggish at times, particularly when using demanding apps like YouTube
The Celeron processor and 4GB of RAM are not the most powerful specs out there
