if you are trying to play the sims 4, this laptop will also double as a heating pad. :) my personal experience with this laptop hasn't been as great but she's dependable.
does it run slow when you download custom content? i need a computer to play the sims 4 on
Probably because you might be using it on ur lap or a surface that absorbs heat. Don’t do that. Try using a book or something to put it on. My gets warm after a min if I don’t have a hard surface under it.
@@Shadmannnn wdym?
@@talaunbrown2413 sorry for the late response. Yes it seems it run slower with mods but it still works it just takes longer to load
@@nubis453 it gets hot even on hard surfaces, there’s no fan in it so it’s not meant to play games with honestly. I haven’t even played it in months
I got the this for my second school computer. My Mac won’t let me do certain programs required for school. My work laptop is a HP and it’s proven to me HP is an all around great brand. For school/browsing/traveling this is a great laptop. The price is obviously amazing. Haven’t tried gaming on it but I wouldn’t think it was made to support that.
Why not use parallels it is a lot better then a 2nd laptop
Nope definitely not made for gaming.
@@briu570 unless you use optimizations I got team fortress 2 running at 40 fps
@@VolxyzCOD is that considered… okay?
@@Drumgobonk08 yeah but I have a new pc now with a 4090 and all that
I purchased one used for $50 in 2013. I still use it today, choosing it 9 out of 10 times when I need to travel or do some light work at home. Some of the best money ive spent! I had no idea they still made them!
They last a while for sure !
This is not the same stream as that model.
I got this for Christmas and other than not having a backlight I love it. Its lightweight and the touchscreen is fluid with using the keyboard simultaneously.
my touchscreen wont turn on
@@aliciabby6549 oof
It has been a while since last review, you def make some of the best quick and detailed reviews, been watching since 2014 pretty much lol
Hey. What’s up. Thanks for the support. I’m going to make more laptop reviews. Stay tuned. 😀
@@Eternal2007 awesome dude, will watch em all
Ty for the review I just ordered this brand today from Walmart
Hello how is it dose it still work good would you recommend me getting one from Walmart it does have some bad reviews most of them from the storage but I'm just going to used it for drawing and watching Netflix and hulu- and UA-cam
Very good and concise review thanks
Glad you're back, i was surprised when i saw it on my notifications♥
Thanks for the support Joshua. 😀
How you got the UA-cam emoji?
Just got mines yesterday and I love it
Excellent review. Thank you.
Great review!
Thank you. 😀
I bought one yesterday! I’ve cried several times today because I can’t get it to work. It’s going through its own diagnostics now. I’m a senior citizen and I have always used my desktop or my iPhone so I thought surely I could handle a laptop but I had it open for approximately 13 minutes and it froze TWICE!!!
Maybe I’m too old? I wish my grandkids weren’t so busy. They could probably get it working.
Enjoyed your video.
Aww, It's ok. Hopefully my video will help you get it back up and running. Keep me posted. Have a good night.
Thanks Andrew. I just bought this laptop. I haven't received it yet but I am hoping for the best.
How’s the laptop going so far?
@@syeda2227 Hi Syeda. I got it it's been great so far. It works well. The only drawback is that I want to use Google chrome and other Google apps but l am afraid to take it out of s-mode. My daughter got the same model too and tried. Her laptop started malfunctioning. She had to keep signing in everytime she went on it. It has settled down now though.
I love the floating keyboard for nighttime use or when in dark environments. It makes having a backlit keyboard unnecessary. The sound quality is good and the speed is okay for me. The size is perfect and the design compact. It's very lightweight so easy to carry around. Picture quality is great too. I think it's worth every penny.
@@gorgeousgt14does it use SD card? If so I might need it by tomorrow
What is s mode pls?@@gorgeousgt14
I was look for a a new laptop for myself to do my online business. I have been looking at many laptops in the past and this one is a good laptop to use. I can’t wait to buy it 😊
Yes, this is a good solid laptop that will get the job done for a lot of basic tasks. Thanks for watching. 😀
I like that it has a solid state drive. Are there any upgraded versions of this model?
Thank you for testing out the webcam. Agreed quality looks horrible but will pass for what I need it for.
Nice review! The screen is pretty decent as you say. I also use an external monitor & the 'f4' monitor select key works extremely well to choose what monitor you want to use. Playing videos from UA-cam has been flawless & VLC has played every HD video I have tried. Another excellent feature is the fanless & silent design. Cleaning out dust from any computer is a miserable experience & with a laptop it is even worse.
Hi Andrew, do you know what drivers are in this computer My wife just recently picked this up off of Amazon and she tries to watch her TV shows through the Paramount app. But it's constantly buffing. If she's watching tik Tok videos it does the same thing. Also any games that she's trying to play like simple casino games they're always freezing up any helpful information would be wonderful thank you
These little laptops are great linux computers I installed Ubuntucinnamon 20.04 on one am going to be installing 22.04 as soon as it rolls out pulled it apart installed 8gb of ram great little machine for what it is
Thanks for the review
I just bought this and promptly forgot my password and the security questions don't work. I am thinking I mistyped the answer to a security question the first time I opened the computer. What can I do?
Just got one from Wally World with tax and all US$235.68 not too bad. Great review.
How to disable the thing when i close my laptop a little bit its really black and when i open my laptop alot its turns really white
Is this laptop good for Youtibe live streaming?
I want to get this to watch films among other things (not including gaming), will it suit my needs?
Will this laptop work with Adventure Quest Worlds launcher? asking for a friend. 🤔
Is the memory (RAM) upgradable?
Did you add a graphics card or something? My picture quality is absolutely horrible. If you turn your head even the slightest half the screen is black and cloudy.
the speaker is a little too quiet on this computer any way to fix this??
I just need it for school work n college essays
I used this for school and it gets the job done, however, my only complaint is the storage.
I should be able to run Quickbooks on this, right?
I still have my HP Stream (13-c002dx) from 2015! Not a powerhouse by any stretch of the imagination, buy it did what I needed it to do without much problems. Just bought the MBA M1 to finally replace it. ;)
So you bought something with soldered ram and no user upgradability
@@miregoji2959 I guess, but who cares? If I wanted something customizable, I would have build another PC.
Hay there is a camera you can get and replace the stock one if you what to open it up 😶 also there’s a mat screen cover.
What's the color of the led light once it's full charge?
It a white light. Once your battery goes into powersaver mode it's going to a red
Can it efficiently run mt4 and Tradingview?
I installed Linux Mint on it and am using it right now. Love it.
How does it run with Linuxmint? Thinking of buying one and installing lubuntu lxqt
explain what is it please, mine is slow
@@sofiane7648linux is an operating system like windows or mac. there are many different "distros" of linux like mint, ubuntu, fedora, and on and on. for most people coming over from windows its recommended to use linux mint or zorin. on a lowend laptop like this i recommend xfce versions of Linux mint and zorin as xfce is the most lightweight while still being modern. there are lots of UA-cam videos of people installing xfce linux on old laptops and bringing new life into them as they ran very slow with Windows
I’m using mine for personal documenting and light streaming if at a coffee shop, etc. does anyone recommend a portable dvd player plug in to use ? Looking to get one
Anyone know if you can upgrade the processor on this?
... GREAT VIDEO QUALITY .. SOUND .. SHARPNESS .. FOCUS .. RESOLUTION .. ETC...ETC...ETC.......
Hi, I just received this lap top as a gift for Christmas and my video quality it extremely poor. You can't even tilt your head the slightest and half the screen looks dark and blurred. Is there something I'm missing? Maybe a setting or something?
Hey there! Thanks for the thorough review of the HP Stream 14. It's great to see a detailed breakdown of its specs and performance. I'm particularly interested in the battery life, and your real-world testing gives me a better idea of what to expect.
You mentioned that it comes with Microsoft 365 for free for a year, which is a nice bonus, especially for students. Could you please provide more information on the overall build quality and durability of the laptop? How's the keyboard for typing longer documents?
Thanks for sharing your insights!
If you get tired of using Windows 10S on your HP Stream 14 and you're well-versed in Linux distros, Debian XFCE handles extremely well on it. Frees up a lot of storage space, comes with Libre Office installed, and streaming is very smooth.
Perfect for school, kinda goes slow sometimes but yea. I dont recommend it for anything else.
Is the laptop able to connect with an Ethernet connection
Any tips for making this run smoother? It's a bit laggy for me.
1:09 - switch out of S mode! He said it will make the quality more smoother if you’re experiencing lag :D
i have one and i dropped it off my desk and it had no problems
can I use USB flash drive 2.0 or 3.0 3.1 ?
Can the RAM be updated?
Can this laptop run a game like imvu?
Whats the expiration date on it though
Planning to get one of these for mostly web browsing but wondering if it would be able to atleast run genshin impact
yo does it run genshin impact
The ram memory is soldered?
How do you remove app recommendations
That laptop has a backlit keyboard??
I wonder does it freezes a lot
Works great after a fresh install of windows and removal of the dreaded 'S mode'. Ram is doable, though the CPU tends to max out if you're running a lot of programs. Good enough for school purposes. Wouldn't recommend for gaming. Get an SD card if you can if you want to store extra stuff on it. 64GB is kinda small. Definitely not enough for media.
What exactly is S Mode? I’m looking into this laptop for college work
@@erikalopez8135 It's a watered down version of windows that doesn't allow for any applications to be installed besides windows apps. It's kind of like a Chromebook.
@@erikalopez8135you can turn on s mode in settings.
Is there a way to put google chrome on laptop
Can the emmc be replace with a larger ssd?
Wondering if this will be good for homeschooling
What type of charger is it?
why does it look like an 11.6?
when did it release?
i have the same one but the brilliant black one and i love it.. you also get a free windows 11 upgrade
How do you upgrade ur?
@@sophiA-uj4cq if you purchased the HP stream 14-cb174wm with windows 10 it comes with thr upgrade free.. go to your setting-->updates and it'll tell you if your HP is qualified
My Screen look faded I just got it and I hate it 😭 is there a way to make it look clean and HD ? HELP
I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to figure out if it's the laptop or something I need to change in settings. I'm ready to return mine if I can't get any help.
@@rachelceney9549 That's how it's built... I had to return mine and buy a different one end up paying an extra hundred for it but worth it
Is this laptop foldable?
Can you download ITunes on it ?
can it play team fight tactics on it?
Why is mine so slow? It can do anything
How do you get it to download apps that not in the microsoft store when i try downloading apks and other apps it keeps saying do you want to find this app in the microsoft store?
Take it out of S mode. He covers how to do this on the beginning.
I have the cb172wm model, and it works pretty good with Linux. When I first booted into Windows 10 it seemed to be just fine, but as I'm on an Ubuntu-based OS now I can't say much else about the performance out of the box.
@Xtstyrs I've been using Zorin OS 16 (Core), so I can't say much about base Ubuntu. It runs amazing and actually makes it usable without stutters or slowdowns.
Many people were saying I would have to use the lite edition, but that clearly wasn't necessary. Although, you'd probably get even more of a performance boost on the lite edition if Core already runs on it so well.
How’s the streaming capability on these
I was wondering the same thing
Whats the blank f5 for
I’m goin into college for 4 years where I’d need it for classes, research and documenting. Would this be a good buy?
If you already bought this laptop then oh well! If not, DO NOT BUY THIS LAPTOP. The processor is slower than my Lenovo T410 (from 2010!) and the storage is NOT UPGRADABLE. It's absolutely pathetic that Office only lasts one year!
hello was just wondering if i could run emulated pokemon games on here? i have a chromebook and a lot of games cant be downloaded because its a web based computer and not windows. I need to be able to download a lot of stuff that i cant on a chromebook. any tips?
Fro mwhat I know, it's not much faster than a crappy chromebook. if your in the 200 dollar price range
HP Elitebook 840 G5 to G7 are solid
along with Lenovo T480 - 90
HDD or SSD
Would this be a good laptop to produce beats on a DAW? I need something that won't crash on me
not really
nah, dont recommend it for that
Got mine for $179 the other day.
Adjusting for the PRICE, this is a 4-star budget dual core Windows 11 laptop.
I’m thinking of getting this for my daughter can you play Roblox on it or how is gaming??
@@Leximousieplayz13 Did you end up getting it for your daughter? If not then Lenovo t490 is a solid option
How is for editing video?
Help I wanna play my rift s how can I make it possible ps great vid dude
Hey Andrew, should I buy this? Please give me your opinion if I should buy the laptop
Hi Apple. What is your budget and what do you use a laptop for ?
@@Eternal2007 Same question. my budget is around 220 or tbis laptop. would you reckomend if your school work?
Have The Same Laptop
Appreciate you
Would you recommend this laptop for learning "coding". Please guide me.
With windows 10s can we able to watch UA-cam?
Is this Hp touchscreen?
I had the same one and 3 years of having it it won’t turn on so don’t get it
#LDLforLIFE thanks for the rivew
I just got one today and I was wondering if it's slow? Mine is very slow
It is a very slow computer indeed. It's processor is slower than one from 2010.
So, this laptop wouldn't be good to play the Sims 4 game? I'm looking for a laptop to just play the Sims game, and thats all. So what laptop should I get then I don't want a pricey one.
Same thing I’m looking for I saw another comment saying that if you use cc it’s slow and that it heats up quickly if you find anything let me know :)
@@jami369 Used laptops are the way to go! Yes... the battery may have degraded a bit, but that's always replaceable. Anything is better than a crappy laptop that you'll be stuck with.
I'm using a HP Elitebook 840 G7 (which goes for around $250 on ebay, originally $1000 MRSP) and it is phenomenal! It does everything I want it to do and gets about 9-12 hours of battery life. I can install Sims 4 on it if you want. Let me know if you have any questions
I bought it yesterday and it didn't turn on, we went today to change it and now they want to give it to me for more money, they didn't even give me a guarantee, it's garbage
Is the gaming really good can I play stream
No , you can play e sports games but not much else
@@johngorgis esports games like?
should i switch off s mode with windows 11 getting the laptop soon and it has windows11
Last time I switched to windows 11 it was slow tabs were not responding takes up half of your storage
The first video of yours that I've ever watched was the hp stream 11 review lol
Wow. That’s a been awhile. Thanks for sticking around. 😀
@@Eternal2007 of course 👍
👍🏾 in 2022
is this laptop upgradable? like, from the HDD to a SSD or a NVMe m.2?
Nope! soldered in eemmc. Fancy way of saying booting from a sd card/flash drive.
HP elitebook 840 G5 to G7 or Lenovo t480 to t490 are solid choices.
@@bobjones1999 ty dude! Unfortunaly I bought a SSD hopping that may work but it didn't lol. Now I'm using it into another shitty laptop
I just bought mine, trying to down load photos need help lol
What photos are you trying to download from ?
does it run well with roblox?
nope its laggy and it walks by it slef .
Would you this laptop good for video editing
Sure\
How good is this for music production? I load my computer with music libraries
Awful. The hard drive is slow, processor is slower than a 10 year old one and the storage is crap. Your phone probably has more than what this laptop has.
@@bobjones1999 thank you for the reply I'm glad I got a MacBook pro instead
@@TrignoTruth Thank goodness you got a Macbook Pro. How is it? fast?
Why 30fps lol
