Solid little machine. The price was very good and worked out of the box. Simple machine for a simple operator. Came with 365 installed for first year. It’s very light and as fast as I need, good battery life. Like all new machines took a while to set up but works perfectly. It’s not flashy but perfect for modest everyday tasks

I've been using the HP Stream 14" Laptop since November 2024, and I have to say, it’s a fantastic little device for the price! Right now, I’m actually writing this review on it, and it’s handling everything smoothly. One of the best things about this laptop is how lightweight and compact it is—perfect for carrying around. The battery life is impressive, lasting hours on a single charge, which means I don’t have to stress about finding an outlet during the day. It has a sleek, stylish design that looks great, and despite its budget-friendly price, it doesn’t feel cheap. Performance-wise, it zips along pretty quickly for everyday tasks like web browsing, streaming movies, and working on documents. While it’s not the fastest laptop out there, it works a treat for programs and apps that don’t demand too much memory. Overall, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly laptop that’s portable, reliable, and stylish, the HP Stream 14" is a solid choice. Pretty good value for money!

This laptop is how lightweight and compact it is—perfect for carrying around. The battery life is impressive, lasting several hours on a single charge. It has a sleek, stylish design that looks great, and despite its budget-friendly price, it doesn’t feel cheap at all. Performance-wise, it functions and processes pretty quickly for everyday tasks like web browsing, streaming movies, and working on documents. Like all laptops you do have to spend a little time on setting it all up to go but this was a very easy process as everything was led by the computers prompt. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly laptop that’s portable, reliable, and stylish, the HP Stream 14" is a solid choice. I think its fabulous value for money.

Pretty good for the price. Slightly irritating size and position of the on button is my only slight gripe! A nice little workhorse and very light to carry around in my bag.

I wanted to get a basic laptop to be able to do personal stuff on in preference to using my work laptop or the steam-driven 2016-vintage tower unit that I was still harbouring in a cupboard in my home office. Although the laptop is absolutely fine for basic use (and has the added bonus of a 12-month free subscription to M365), it’s not as quick as a more expensive model due to the use of a basic Celeron processors - plus there are a couple of serious compromises that you ought to know about if you’re hoping to get a laptop that you can chop and change with a more powerful, professional one. The first is the memory - it only has a 128gb SSD, and while I thought that would be ample, it doesn’t come close to saving all my accumulated photos over the years. I can live with this though, by keeping them on an external hard drive. The second (and more irksome) compromise is that although it has a USB-C port, this doesn’t power the laptop, nor does it recognise the two external monitors that I have plugged into a hub for my work laptop. Whilst I can still use a second monitor with it, by unplugging the HDMI lead for one of my monitors from the hub and into the laptop, and plug the power adapter into the laptop as well, it’s not the smooth swap-out process between my work and personal laptops that I was hoping for. Of course, these are definitely First World Problems and I know that you get what you pay for - I could have had the same functionality with a more expensive model, but I only wanted it for the basics. Nevertheless I did want to write this review so that others would know that if you’re looking for the same ability to switch machines seamlessly, you’ll need to go a little bit higher up the price range.

Compact and handy — perfect for studying and working on projects. Ideal for techy/nerd use and very portable. Excellent value for the price; definitely a bargain.

Does everything I want it to. Lightweight. Responsive. I was pleasantly surprised at it's capabilities but it's an HP and they produce good hardware. For general use it's excellent. I use it physically in the field everyday. Better than a tablet. Fast enough for what I need which is LIDAR analysis and that takes some processing! Good value for money. Cannot find any find any down sides.

I’m not a massive IT buff but for the money this is perfect. I have limited requirements (emails, posters, team sheets and newsletters). This is perfect for me. I’m sure it covers a lot of other stuff that I don't need but it’s functional, good size and works well for me.
