Opinion on the HP Stream 7?

Hey, guys so I have been using an HP Stream 7 for about three solid weeks now and its surprising powerful and snappy. For a 32 bit system this caught me off guard but makes sense if it only has 1gb of ram. Sure it wasn't meant to replace a full PC or laptop but I have has some great usage with quick searching, steam, videos etc.   Whats your opinion on this device? Love to hear some feedback.

I think it's good for basic stuff, it's good for children to learn and use as well as for having something to take while travelling.

For the price its awesome. I grabbed mine for 80 bucks with a case from the Microsoft store. Great for web browsing and watching videos.

I'd buy the 8, as you get the free 200MB/mo of T-mobile data for life, it's thinner and won't get neutered by Windows 10 for Phones and Small Tablets when it comes out.

The only thing I don't like is the design of the audio jack, it's not sealed properly so static plays in the background of most, if not all devices. AnandTech wrote about this, and I noticed it myself.

 

If you constantly have something playing, it's not an issue.

 

It's a neat little tablet to play with, though.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

Yeah, I guess that's the one main thing I forgot to say, its horrible in between songs or just having and audio out plugged in :/ I guess for the cheap price that is what we get right.
