HP 11-d026t clearly superior body. Laptop weight 1.2 kilograms of plastic is thicker and heavier than the Acer, but it feels more like a laptop Stream worth two or three times more expensive. Unlike the old notebook or tablet with a keyboard that is widely seen now, you do not have to jostle fingers to type on the keyboard Stream comfortable and spacious. In addition, the keyboard Stream also not damaged even though I typed hard enough. Acer keyboard feels more vulnerable.
If you are looking for a simple notebook with a standard design-like white laptop Acer-you will be disappointed. But if you do not object to the colors like sky blue and magenta, Stream is that you are looking for. Although HP and Microsoft said this laptop for everyone, the colors are offered as well as polka-dot motif in the interior indicate Stream laptop made for children of school age.
When compared with other Chromebook Acer and under $ 300, the Stream screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels looks rather dim. I continue to feel the need to raise the brightness of the screen, despite being the maximum.
However, although I raise the screen brightness to maximum, the laptop can last up to seven hours, an impressive feat for Windows computers. In tests harder-screen streaming video with maximum light-Stream lasted six hours, 34 minutes. In the same test, the battery Acer last 45 minutes longer.
Performance
Comparing the operating system (OS) Windows 8.1 in the Stream with Acer Chrome OS is not easy. Chrome OS has been growing rapidly with the support offline applications more and better multitasking features. However, the Windows 8.1 operating system which remains a far superior. Stream offers a full version of Windows latest file system and greater application options. You also can wear it while not connected to the Internet. You do not need to think twice about doing things that can not be run on a Chromebook, such as Skype or print something.However, the advantage it has also become the biggest weakness. Stream can do more than a Chromebook, but it requires more power notebooks that are not available in low-grade devices such as Stream.
Stream can run Word, Excel, and PowerPoint rapidly. Wear it in conjunction with email on the Web and streaming music sites still current.
But some times Stream system is so slow, so I had free time to heat up the coffee. Internet Explorer surrender under the pressure of seven or more tabs and so very slowly if worn crowded visual browsing the site. Scrolling is slow and stuttering are common in the Stream.
Acer Chromebook is quicker and more smoothly matter of surfing the web and open multiple tabs at once. For some cases, it's more fun to wear interface of Chrome OS, which is not confusing as Windows 8.1.
Is war vs. Windows Chromebook is useless? Increasingly, modern Windows notebooks, the better. This fight is not about our pocket, but a matter of maintaining the loyalty of users to Microsoft services than Google.
For now, if you want a $ 200 computer to browse the Web, Acer excel. But if you want a cheap computer that can be used for more than just surfing the Web-even consider slow-Stream.
