Title: Laptop stupid
Post by: bellow on March 14, 2021, 04:52:28 PM
Which laptop looks, uses wise, better (I am stupid when it comes to them) https://www.target.com/p/hp-11-6-34-stream-laptop-with-windows-10-s-mode-32gb-storage-white-160-11-ak0035nr/-/A-79945035#lnk=sametab or https://www.target.com/p/hp-14-34-stream-touchscreen-laptop-with-windows-10-s-mode-64gb-storage-indigo-blue-14-fq0037nr/-/A-80339962#lnk=sametab just search web with it. I AM NOT GOING TO LOOK AT OTHERS OR GO WITH USED. JUST WANT ADVICE ON THESE TWO

This one of the 2, https://www.target.com/p/hp-14-34-stream-touchscreen-laptop-with-windows-10-s-mode-64gb-storage-indigo-blue-14-fq0037nr/-/A-80339962#lnk=sametab

32gb of storage is to hard to manage, you would need to do house keeping every week or so just to be able to keep it usable. So that rights off buying the  HP 11.6" Stream Laptop with Windows 10 S Mode.

Both run windows 10 in S mode see here about S mode limitations.

I wouldn't waste my money on either of them.

Not looking to storage anything so that is not a big deal to me

Don't let S mode deter you, a computer can be switched out of S mode (but then can't be switched back).  However, even 64GB of storage is pretty tight, I personally wouldn't want less than 128GB of storage.

Between the 2 you posted, go with #2.  It has a bigger screen, faster processor and twice as much storage.  It costs $70 more but it's worth it.  #2 also has a touchscreen if that's of interest to you.

I read the customer reviews on the 64GB one - told me all I needed to know, leave well alone.
