- This is the HP Stream 11, one of the cheapest laptops you could buy in 2015, but how does it compare to more expensive laptops of the time and does it still hold up today?

Wanna see the Retina MacBook when it used to work? Here is the video I made about it!
th-cam.com/video/ly7fpeORtQ8/w-d-xo.html
7:35 later on in the HP streams life they upped the specifications to 4GB of RAM and they updated the storage from 32GB to 64GB, while still keeping the same design for a little bit then later on, they changed the design.
did the Mac break
Windows 8 was good on a touch screen.
Guess what most people using Windows 8 didn't have.
Good taste in operating systems?

Windows 8.1 was amazing though. Even on PC without openshell.

2015 was 9 yrs ago
In slightly more than 3 months, 2015 will be a decade ago
Holy fuck
that's... something...
I feel real old now, thanks for that
yea 2015 was a long time ago
2015 was the last year of my childhood too, god I feel old
saying hp and worst/trash in the same sentence is like saying hot fire or liquid water
HP laptops are pretty crap, especially the cheaper ones. But their PCs are pretty good.
HP laptops are pretty crap, especially the cheaper ones. But their PCs are pretty good.
Sad thing is they didn't used to be. Now they suffer from ever lasting hinge issues, even their expensive models.
Nah hp trash
Yeah except in this video the Mac fared worse.
the MacBook may have defected processor caused by Apple’s “literally no” heatsink
Your mac neds a new motherboard. That's not usually a fixable fault, can't remember if it's a ram or cpu fault, but it's one of the 2
Say what you want about Edge, but it was in no way worse than IE, so forcing it on Win 7 and 8 machines is the one time Microsoft didn't actually make things worse.
yeah it’s actually better with memory than chrome and got more updates after chrome lost support on windows 7 if im remembering correctly
I got one of these new for Christmas back in the day and I hated it.
sorry for your loss
@@Janethedoodoobrainlol at least you didn't get a Chromebook
did they exist back then? @@trabant601e

I own one of these HP streams, except is called the HP Stream 11 ✨Pro✨, what makes it so pro? Nothing, it’s got the exact same specs as any other HP stream 11 but it comes in black
Once you go black... You're a 💫pro🌞
It's actually a pro laptop for kindergarten and elementary school students
And BTW lowest tier HP Chromebook today maintained the same chassis used in HP Stream
try minecraft 1.8.9 its way older and runs better on older computers like a pentium 4
anything up to 1.12 performs well
1.13+ runs like garbage by comparison
@@zUltra3DNot entirely true.
1.8.9 runs better than 1.12 on old things cause it doesn't use as much ram.

I worked in a repair shop in 2016. I saw so many people asking to upgrade the eMMC storage on the Stream, only for me to disappoint them and try to explain to the best of my ability what "soldered on" means

The Retina MacBook Got Kicked Out Of Apple's macOS Support Months After Microsoft Kicked Windows 7, 8, And 8.1 Out Of Applications Support!
Luckily there was a version of this computer that had 4 GB Ram 64 Storage. it's the computer of a family member had for a long time. it got the windows 10 update it work very slowly, but it works. The great surprise is that thing is windows 11 compatible it has "TPM"module but win 11 runs like shit. After that we put on the dam thing light linux distro. That computer got bit up like to hell and back until one it didn't turn on "RIP" good bye little blue. And if I remember correctly someone told me there was one that had 8 GB of Ram but I never saw that model.
THIS LAPTOP.
HOLY SHIT.
This was the first computer I ever owned for myself! It was just powerful enough to run Roblox and a Skype call simultaneously!
i kinda dig the heatch pea's blue color tho..
i remember hyper fixating on this series of laptops in general
thank god i got a used thinkpad that died 2 months later in january 2014

I worked at Walmart in the electronics department when these were new and I always thought they looked really cool aesthetically but resented the fact that they couldn't be upgraded at all. We sold a few of them, mostly to college students with cheap parents. The pink/purple ones were more popular than the blue ones. :P
Even at the upper levels you don't really see bold colors like this anymore. :(
feels like 2015 marked the beginning of the end of laptop manufacturers actually caring about their consumer base
Nah it started in the late 2000's early 2010 when they started building laptops like cheap chinese android tabletd
umm no that started back in like 2009 with netbooks and those horrible compaq/hp laptops that would randomly overheat and die lmao. one of my cousins gave me her compaq CQ40 and I fixed it "reballing" the motherboard with a very ghetto solution (wrapped the board in aluminum foil, then placed a soldering iron a few centimeters above the CPU/GPU area) and it surprisingly worked
If you have a limited budget, it's better to buy a good, but used product. You can also save some money to buy a more expensive but better quality item. Another option is to take a good product in installments and pay it off over time.
buy a craig
Expectation: hahaha bad hp laptop
Reality: hahaha bad mac laptop
Tbh it was not that bad for a cheap consumer grade laptop. I had one in the family and it was very abused but it still kept on going,last time it was used in 2022 when it was dropped and the screen got cracked. Mine ran 10 too but it became a pain in the ass to run it on those specs after the 2019 update. It runs ok with Tiny10 or Linux tho
It was bad.
Soldered RAM, CPU, even soldered, non-expandable storage.
And a Celeron with 2GB RAM, Intel HD and eMMC storage is a combo made in the deepest depths of hell, probably designed for the third hokage.
@@BlueEyedVibeChecker Yeah but it was 150$ brand new or at least that's how much i paid for it. For a new device it was acceptable. I don't think 150$ new laptops even exist today anymre
I got my hands on a similarly specced Chromebook that had the EMMC physically drilled out by a school to “wipe” its data… I managed to get it to boot off of an SD card after flashing the bios by clipping directly onto the chip and using Linux tools on another device just to even allow that…
It runs Debian kinda ok tbh, but yeah similar specs and it’s barely useable today.
@@BlueEyedVibeChecker Soldered RAM and CPU does not mean a bad machine. Most modern ultrabooks are like that today, and some (especially MacBooks and Yogas) will last a like long time for most users.
I LOVE the colour. I could unironically purchase something similar nowadays
the HP stream 11 is perfect as a writing laptop and if you need a raspberry pi type single application computer that needs a keyboard and mouse.
they're pretty good linux machines for that purpose.
in fact I refuse to put windows on mine because running windows is nearly impossible now due to how slow this machine truly is.
the space bar on yours I think it broken, because i don't have that problem on mine
also the battery life is excellent, I can still get 6 hours on mine when pushing it to the limits (which isn't hard to do) but y'know you could just open vim and start writing a paper and still be quite happy as a distraction-free writing laptop.
I did a bunch of writing on a slightly older nugget, the MSI Wind U100 and for low spec machines like this Linux is really a game changer, it came with Windows 7 Starter, I replaced it with MacOS Snow Leopard, that was fine to use but terrible to maintain with every new Apple patch requiring hacks, but Linux is still usable on that machine to this day.
Dankpods and Bingus meets GHG vibes in this channel (like all of the channels).
when I was 10, I bought a hp stream for $100. They actually still make them.
I had this laptop. I smashed it because it kept making me mad. I really hated it so much. Glad I got rid of it
This laptop sells today for a higher, if not almost same price as a used 2013 MacBook Pro.
Hp stands for hinge problems 😂
First
I really think HP is better than Apple till today, the Haesh Pee failed in 2015!
nah mate its the hatech-pea
The HP Stream have a identical twin named HP 11. The only major difference is that the HP 11 didn't use eMMC for the storage and instead use a 500GB hard drive so you can replace it with a SATA SSD. It also only available in black.
I replaced mine with an SSD and it's slightly more bearable for web browsing and typing. As soon as my college tasks require me to do some video production assignment, I dumped this laptop ASAP
did that also come with only 2gb of ram?
as much shit as we give mechanical hard drives these days, I’d rather use one as my only drive any day of the week over eMMC… at least the hard drive is replaceable and generally gives you a usable amount of storage from the getgo.
You could probably fit 11 guts into a Stream body without much modification.
@@nahventure3873 Yes. It's basically HP Stream just with a SATA port
whats poppin man im early love you

Even to this day I've always felt sad over Alan Rickman's death. Now that I see his son is doing great though, I do feel much better.
I actually have one of these lol, it's just not on it's original OS anymore.
I had a laptop that looked like this back in 2017 but I swear it performed better. I'd say it ran Fallout 4 pretty damn good.
Both my sister and I have owned the 12" retna since 2015 and I can say that it's a really good laptop, but ahead of its time. In reality it should have launched with the M1 and it really would have been far more viable. Too bad ARM were not introduced earlier, or perhaps RISC-V
Man, your tone of voice, accent and the way you speak is so adorable
hes so cute ong
we got frokfrdk face reveal before GTA 6
I unironically wanted the HP as a kid but my mom knew better
I had the exact HP Stream, we used to use it to edit our video project for school back then it could render 1080p with color correction, subs and cuts I used to use sony vegas with it took around 2hrs for minutes of footage😂
try oldest version of minecraft because it will be good on this laptop
I had an N2840 in an Aspire ES1-411.
Socketed ram in those.
Do note that any Silvermont derived SoC before April 2017 has a known LPC clock bug that can cause boot problems and corruption. Linux is additionally affected by power state bugs that cause lockups.
USB/SD controllers are affected by the LPC clock bug as well.
This was found to extend into further derivatives of the architecture.
Mine killed 2 drives before I had enough of it
you can't even use that in 2015. its better to use HP CQ40 from 2010.
Can't believe the Store's Live Tile is still flipping on that install of 8.1
The newer Celerons for laptops are just higher spec Atoms. This laptop is basically a netbook/Chromebook with Windows shoved into it.
At least the older ones were the same cores as the mainstream models, but still doesn't negate the even when new shitty performance.
when you run low on memory with windows 11 lots of pages and apps get paused or put into efficiency mode. the 400mb sidebar thing with the widgets just dont get launched and into memory if its not being used. the amount of web pages and the reliance on fast ssd storage does make it almost impossible to run with an hdd or an emmc but ssds are cheap enough now. those new cheap windows 11 laptops you showed actually run just as fine if not better than the hp stream did when it was new. there oneof those terrible laptops (an hp one even) at my schools that is there to just view photos and powerpoints on a projector for the conference thing and it works perfectly fine its actually not even laggy. no one buying these laptops need or want more out of them.
The blue one remembers me about Austin evans Video. And for some reason the boson pc series. There was also the 13" version.
I miss mine. Pure jank but i loved it. I wanna get another just to put puppy linux on it lol
Why was the called “Stream” anyway? It can’t stream anything 😭

I use to have this laptop and it was pretty bad
Said the big bad wolf :3
Hopefully you're one of us now... you know, _a ThinkPad user._
I love my X250 (also from 2015). FHD display, backlit keyboard that isn't crap, an i7 option (the one I have), and I have it set up with 8GB DDR3 and a 1TB WD Blue SSD, and the whole machine only set me back $98 (only $53 had I left the 1TB WD Blue HDD it came with).
got a newer model of this in 2017 for christmas and used it for 3 years, dont know how i survived
with blood and tears

Nice
Hi
I have one of these laptops, it's honestly not as bad as some of the newer laptops. Pretty solid still for basic browsing.
I don't get why people are hating on the butterfly keyboard so much. I had one for a long time and I had no problems with it. I didn't fell weird or anything to me. I am fine with butterfly keyboards but now I have a MacBook without it and I felt no difference (yes I did, but not as in the older one's trash and the new one's good)
There was little to no space under the keys, they were so thin that any dirt would cause them to not work. Personally I’ve never tried it, and I think it’ll be a good keyboard as long as you kept it clean
I think part of it is the previous keyboard IMO was as pretty good, I actually really like my 2011 MacBook Air keyboard but even it doesn’t have a great feel, but I can always just plug in a real keyboard if I want a great feel.
@@MoonDrive_ I always keep my stuff clean. I dont even let my phone, tablet and Computer / Laptop geht dirty in the first place. Anyway, who uses a filthy piece of tech? No, that is not the case with me and so I had no problem whatsoever.
People hate the butterfly keyboard because it was extremely fragile and jammed constantly. It's not normal to be constantly pre-emptively vacuuming your laptop lmao
@@kyle8952 I did not clean mine in the two years that I had it at all and it was completely fine. Also I kinda liked the feel of the buttons.
i ate my Grapes which i've left in the fridge for 3 hours to become extra cold while watching your video ( and i searched for it )... consider this your highest compliment blue_boi !
I have that same laptop! I use it to mess around with viruses, and back up stuff for a short amount of time
I had this laptop back in 2017 in the purple color I made some great memories with it
Actually, he is right about Taskbar. That would be different experience.
Why do u hate HP? I have an Hp laptop and it’s actually very good. They have def improved on their newer line of laptops (I have a Laptop 15z-fc000 with some customizations such as touch screen, 512 GB SSD, and a blue-silver two-tone color (the lid is blue and the base is silver). It’s also sleek and thin as hell but VERY fast.
I modified the space bar stabilizer on my school Stream so my right thumb would trigger the button properly.
Also in windows 8.1 if you have a touchpad you can swipe from the right side of it and have the charms bar. (I also have the same specs on the 14 inch version)
The left side gesture kept bugging me while filming this
@@frokfrdk I'm still trying to use the same specs except an SSD today :'(
thanks, ill stick to my elitebook 2760p with a patched win7 that still receives updates (which are still ongoing for pos edition).
i have a notebook with 2gb of ram ddr3, 32gb of emmc storage and an intel atom x5, i installed linux debian xfce and its running surprisingly well

@@frokfrdk Yes, and I watched it. Well done
You should try running some flavor of GNU/Linux on it (I'd suggest Debian w/LXDE). You'll probably even be able to get Minecraft w/Sodium working on it (as I have with an even older Intel iGPU)
i'm betting there's gonna be a crowd of people that scream "put linux on it"
the reason edge seemed to be using so little memory is because it was split into several processes running simultaneously. combined, they were probably using hundreds of megabytes.
This is hilarious because I built a custom mini ITX workstation PC using an Atom-based HP Stream 11 with a dead screen. I proceeded to upgrade basically everything you can upgrade without soldering, such as gigabit ethernet, headers for ATX power and USB, PCI Express for a GPU (Quadro K620 was the choice for me), a new CPU cooling solution with an RGB fan, and more ;)
I really should finish up that script and make that video happen. I have... words, to say about the HP Stream 11 and the trend it and the MacBook Air kicked off that I do not appreciate today.
Fun video dude!
A friend of mine had one of these and I had a similar one. The built in storage was what killed it. Windows 10 got bigger than 32GB in a year or so, they should have given it 128GB or at least 64GB. But I think otherwise it was fine for 2015.
This thing is pure plastic, down to the very internals. That I am certain of.
I had a client that used these as mobile thin clients in a outpatient clinic. They would use them to connect to a server via RDP and run their apps on a powerful server. They even sucked at that performance wise. Mainly due to the shit WiFi chip in them... These machines couldn't do anything well.
It looks very cool, love the colour on the inside
I had a HP Stream, those things SUCKED
I was wondering what could be worse than my HP Stream 14 N3060 4 GB/32 GB eMMC model, turns out the answer is the older model of the same computer. Seriously, these things are only for people who desperately need a laptop and don't do anything really demanding, and have a good deal of patience. Even then you need to run a debloated version of the OS or it'll be like slogging through mud. Mine has windows 10, and there was /literally/ not enough free drive space on the eMMC drive even with /nothing else installed/ to install the 22H2 update, the only way to do it was by writing it to a usb drive and doing a clean install, and even then it used the majority of the drive. However, tiny10 seems to work decently on it, wouldn't work on this model since it' still uses 2 GB of ram not even running anything, and it's still slow, but it's somewhat usable for basic tasks. If you just need to have a reference page open like a recipe or something, video playback works alright on standard definition though toggling fullscreen takes a couple seconds.
Tried linux and even that can't really fully save it as the hardware is the bottleneck, though a non-debloated windows certainly doesn't help.
The most unbelievable thing is they're /still/ producing this line of machines, though they finally improved things a little bit by putting a quad core and 64 GB+ of storage on the more recent models, still probably isn't anything impressive.
Frankly, if you don't need the laptop part, or maybe even if you do, you can get cheaper used computers with equal or better specs than what they're charging for this thing new. Like having an /actual/ SSD that's not basically embedded flash memory that /will/ eventually fail and leave you with a paperweight since you can't swap it out without getting a professional with soldering equipment/skill which if you actually bought this this you either could not afford or would not be willing to spring for.
I got the HP laptop in 2017 because I wanted to play games on it... Not a single game worked on it, I returned it and got the 2017 MacBook Air which could run all the games I wanted. I learned my lesson not to cheap out on tech after that.
I'll tell you the worst HP laptop ever was the dv9000 series. But this thing is bad for 2015 as you said.
The macbook butterfly keyboard was terrible and idek why apple decided to make such garbage.
The thing with slow crap computers is it teaches you patience and you can get some coffee or something
I have to admit, Windows 8.1 was indeed a perfectly fine operating system. I even think that the Metro design language is a bit better for lower end systems, even if it looks kinda lamer.
But this thing definitely deserves a lightweight Linux distribution. I hear Lubuntu is pretty good.
Hatitch-Pea - Noun - Australian for HP
I crammed windows 11 on some windows 8 era Toshiba satellite with a hard drive and 4gb of ram and I have to say, that EMMC now feels a lot more desirable lmao.
Literally hours to install updates, and less responsive than that hp there.
I do love that blue though, I want one now
Not only the worst laptop in 2015 but the worst laptop of all time. Even the newer HP Stream is no good as well.
my old asus is the same but the trackpad is terrable and most of the time the keyboard doesnt reponed to clicks and when i connect somthing to it itill crash and it has 14 gigs😶
btw its from 2017
