Pros and Cons

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go

Strengths

It's not the most expensive chromebook out there, making it a great value for its price
The LTE connectivity is a major plus for those who need reliable internet access on-the-go
Wi-Fi 6 support is great news for frequent conference attendees and event goers
The battery life is decent, with up to 8 hours of use on a single charge
The webcam is fine for simple video conferencing
The microphone does an okay job of picking up voice, even in noisy environments
The Chrome OS runs smoothly most of the time

Weaknesses

The display should be better considering its price point
The touchscreen is lacking, which may limit gaming and interactive experiences
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
App crashes were a recurring issue during testing
The lack of touchscreen support makes playing games on this device nearly impossible
The display's strong contrast can lead to issues with video conferencing or recording

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
