As expected, HP has launched a new affordable laptop with a relatively low price . Unfortunately the price is not as low as expected. HP Stream 14 is a laptop that has a 14-inch screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, a low-power processor AMD Mullins, and prices starting $ 300.
In other words, it is about 100 dollars more than some people had expected, but to be honest, HP had never officially promised to sell a laptop for 200 dollars. We just heard an approximate price from a Microsoft executive.
The new HP laptop should be available from 24 September , and it's a little response from HP and Microsoft to Google Chromebook. Although he does not understand a lot of local storage, customers will have 100 GB of free storage on the cloud from Microsoft, with OneDrive, and for 2 years.
Regarding the connectivity, the laptop has a USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI output, and a reader of micro-SD card port. It weighs 1.72 kilograms, measures 34.29 x 24.13 x 1.77 inches and has a fairly compact design since it does not need a fan to operate.
This is one of the first laptops to be powered by the A4 processor Micro-6400T is AMD mobile quad chip (name Mullins code) with low power consumption (4.5 Watts), coupled with a R3 Radeon integrated graphics solution. One of the only other laptops I've seen with this processor is also HP: the mini laptop 10z Pavilion.
HP Stream has a 32Whr battery, and HP says the device should work for 6.5 hours on a full charge. The laptop also has Wi-Fi connectivity 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, and offers wireless display support Miracast.
While the HP Stream looks like a Windows alternative to a Chromebook , HP continues to honor its intensions. The company recently updated its range of Chrome OS notebooks with new models with Intel processors and NVIDIA. HP is also one of the only major computer manufacturers to offer a laptop that runs on the mobile operating system from Google, Android - I'll let you discover shortly.
Geeks Mobile had the chance to HP Stream at IFA Berlin take over, and mentioned that the laptop has a screen with limited viewing angles, but it turns out very respectable for a laptop at this price - even though $ 300 is not 200 dollars dreamed ...
