Review on HP Stream 14Inch Processor Bluetooth by Mitch Warner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well out of the box great with update

I don't do much with this laptop. I need to visit websites, view and sign PDF files, and use Microsoft Office. That's all. I need a car that's a little more reliable than a Chromebook. As most reviews say, this laptop was incredibly slow right out of the box (about 10 seconds between clicks). If you buy this, do yourself a favor and buy an 8GB RAM upgrade for around $30. This laptop has 4GB of RAM and is too slow. I put my system on a memory card, undid about 13 screws to remove the bottom of the laptop and remove the battery, replaced the ram card, put the battery and bottom back in place and rebooted. It took about 15 minutes and now the laptop is much faster. Now I am very happy with this laptop. It does everything I need and quickly. I wouldn't buy this laptop for CAD drawing or gaming. I would definitely buy this laptop for video streaming, video conferencing and administrative work. For these tasks, you can't beat the price and performance of this laptop. I used this RAM: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PVW253T/ref=twister_B08QRMXNJ3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
