Featuring a 1.6-GHz Intel Celeron N3050 CPU, 2GB of RAM and only 32GB of flash storage, the Stream 13 provides everything you need for basic computing tasks. The laptop allowed me to run basic Windows Store games like Candy Crush, stream a 1080p video on YouTube and navigate among six browser tabs without much lag.
The biggest drawback of the Stream 13 is its fairly short battery life. On the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi at 100 nits of screen brightness, the HP lasted a modest 6 hours and 54 minutes, trailing the ultraportable category average of 8: 11, the Acer Cloudbook's mark of 14: 43 and the Lenovo Ideapad 100S' time of 9: 48.
