The HP Stream 14 Is A Reliable Little Bud For Only $220
Source: Reviewed.com Archive.org version
If you’re looking for a sub-$250 laptop that runs Windows 10, you won’t do better than the HP Stream 14. It works for basic web browsing and streaming. Its light footprint and price tag make it a great match for those tied to the cloud and those who love running remote desktops, but its longevity is ultimately hampered by its soldered-in storage and memory. For most people, this will be at best a stopgap between now and their next laptop purchase in a year or two, so we recommend saving up a bit to at least $300 if you're able to.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
