Made to be both portable and budget-friendly, HP’s devices focus more on efficiency and reliability over raw power. Three iterations will be made available—an 11-inch version, a 14-incher, and an 11-inch Stream x360, Tech Radar reports.
These new models claim to have improved batteries over their predecessors. They will also have USB 3.0 ports, thinner form factors and lighter chassis. Dual-antenna WiFi receivers will also be included for faster wireless connectivity.
The best thing about these productivity-centric laptops is the prices, which start at $199 for the HP Stream 11, available starting Aug. 24. The Stream 14, priced at $219, will be out on Sept. 7. Finally the Stream x360 is planned to be made available in select regions later in September, for $249.
With such affordable devices, these will be perfect for many people on the go and on limited budgets, particularly students who need to type out reports and do online research without getting distracted by the prospect of gaming while they take a “short” break. Alfred Bayle
