It comes here in the mail tomorrow after a long absence of having no laptop

Should be good for webcam broadcast, general net, and low spec games?

My second Stream 7 this year ate itself, so I bought an iPad.

Really? :(

How did that happen? Battery wear out? Run out of storage? Something else? Bad BIOS / UEFI flash?

I hope that doesn't happen to mine...

Edit: I had thought to buy another one off of ebay, just as a backup spare. Haven't done that yet.

Stream 11 is a windows laptop rather than a tablet

First one broke because apparently a 9 pound cat is, like, really really heavy. (It was even in a padfolio type case. I heard the *crunch* when she stepped on it. So, that's quality glass right there.)

Replaced it under the Officemax extended warranty (which was a hassle-and-a-half.) Second one worked fine for a couple months, but now if I use it for more than a couple minutes, I get phantom screen taps all around the edges. I can just sit it there and watch the thing go nuts.

So cheaply specced glass and poor QC.

So eff it. See if HP gets another penny from me.

antonyms for goon

I think it's smart buy an HP Stream 11 over a tablet (no keyboard) or ultrabook (too expensive) for regular tasks, and brains are pink just like your HP Stream 11. No goons found. :confused:

well a big problem happened that forced to refresh the whole sytem, a yellow box saying limited access for the wifi popped up, How do I prevent this from happening? Waiting for a 64gb sd card in the mail so I can upgrade to 10. Will upgrading to 10 prevent this from happening again? What do you suggest?
