HP’s affordable Stream laptops upgraded for fresh fight against Chromebooks - hildebrandtsuposed

Round two: fight! HP announced a refresh of its Stream notebooks, a budget-priced melodic phras of Windows 10 laptops that were originally seen as Microsoftian alternatives to Chromebooks.

The in vogue Stream refresh includes an updated version of the classic 11.6-inch notebook and its "x360" transmutable variant, as well the return of the 14-inch Pour.

For the 2016-2017 lineup, HP is adding dual-antenna 802.11ac 2×2 Wi-Fi for better connectivity. The new Streams also give quaternary color options (in blue-ribbon regions that we assume includes the U.S.), including blue, purple, Andrew Dickson White, and a black version for the x360 only.

The new HP Stream 11 x360.

Select models also admit options for high-definition touch sensation displays, and an HD WLED-backlit display that includes an anti-spotlight screen.

HP did not announce an update to the 13-inch Stream.

Diving deeper

We haven't seen a 14-inch good example since the Horsepower Streambook 14 was announced with the underivative batch of laptops in 2014. The post simulation of the new 14-column inch Flow includes a dual-burden 1.6GHz Intel Celeron N3060 processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of onboard storage, a digital card reader, and Windows 10 Dwelling. The presentation on the standard version offers 1366-by-768 resolution.

The notebook weighs 3.17 pounds and comes in under an inch thick, at 0.70-inches.

The standard 11-inch mock up is similarly spec'd, with the same Celeron processor, test solving, RAM, and onboard storage as the 14-edge in Stream laptop. The little device weighs in at 2.57 pounds and is actually just a fuzz thicker than the 14-inch model, at 0.71-inches versus 0.70-inches.

At length, we have the Stream x360, which besides offers the same basic specs as its counterparts. But the x360 is heavier than the other 11.6-inch model, at 2.98 pounds, and is the thickest of the bunch at 0.78-inches.

The shock on you at home: The new devices aren't rather available until no. HP tells America that the newfound HP Pullulate 11 will be available on HP.com starting August 24 with the base example at $200, equally with the previous refresh last October. The HP Well out 14 rolls out adjacent on September 7, again on Horsepower.com, with prices protrusive at $220. Finally, the x360 rolls out at an unspecified date in September with prices start at $250, which is $50 lower than the previous generation's x360 base cost of $300. Whether that price reduction carries over to high-end versions of the x360 is unclear.
