HP Stream 11 is an

innovative portable

notebook with all

the essential features of a

conventional notebook such

as Intel processor, 2 GB RAM,

32GB eMMC storage, USB ports,

webcam, keyboard, touchpad

and security mechanisms. The

notebook is priced in such a way

that it beats expensive smaller

sized tablets and packs in most

features you’d expect from a

conventional 15-inch notebook.

Ultimate 3G innovation

Probably its most useful

innovation is the cellular

broadband connectivity. That’s

right, the HP Stream 11 is the

first thin, ultraportable laptop

on the market to have a 3G SIM

card slot using which you will

be able to browse the web even

if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi

networks and 3G dongles.

HP has gone one step ahead to

beat its competitors by infusing

the 3G SIM slot right within

the laptop. You only require a

3G SIM card with data to have

uninhibited internet connection.

Imagine, you are on a weeklong

vacation and don’t have access

to Wi-Fi hotspots or you need

to send to your colleague an

important file on the go while

you’re stuck in the commute .

In such scenarios, HP Stream

laptops come in handy for you to

connect and communicate with

the rest of the world .

Through the HP Stream 11,

journalists can write notes while

attending press conferences and

share them with peers via either

video conferencing or email. We

cannot emphasize the value of

a 3G slot – it’s a special feature

that sets HP Stream 11 way apart

from anything in the market

since nowadays communication

is vital wherever you go.

Without a doubt, the HP Stream

11 is built for staying connected

to on the go.

amazinGly liGht

It’s so light you would not even

know you are carrying one. It

weighs just 1.27 kg and is easy

enough to hold in one hand, and

can be easily tucked away in your

backpack or even a handbag.

The laptop doesn’t have a

DVD drive. But who makes use

of it nowadays when you can

virtually perform all operations

online and with USB drives. If

required, you can connect an

external DVD writer via the

superfast USB 3.0 slot to read,

burn discs and install other

software applications.

lonG battery life

What will happen if you run

out of battery and you don’t

have access to power supply

in the midst of a business

meeting or class? If you have

HP Stream 11 at your disposal,

you will be able to work without

any interruptions thanks to

its 6 hour backup time. With

conservative power settings,

you can even stretch it past

the 9-hour mark. Now that’s

seriously good!

FAnless design

The notebook is equipped with

Intel Celeron N2840 processor

with 2 core and 1 MB cache

memory which consumes 7.5W

of power. It generates very

low amount of heat due to its

low voltage processor. That’s

why the notebook boasts of

a fanless design chassis. You

need not have to worry about

overheating since the system

runs cool enough for regular

usage such as Word Processing,

Web rowsing or HD movie

playback. The system operates

at a frequency of 2.16 GHz as

soon as you boot the machine

but the speed will go up to 2.58

GHz via turbo boost technology

when you do intensive tasks.

The fanless design of HP Stream

11 notebook enables you to avoid

regular cleaning and application

of thermal compounds.

Moreover, you will not hear

distracting fan sounds from the

laptop anymore. The system

will run smoothly without

compromising speed. Moreover,

the notebook doesn’t contain

any air vents on the sides and

bottom due to its low voltage

processor. This allows HP to

utilize unused space by placing

two powerful speakers.

Anti-glAre displAy

HP Stream 11 sports a 11.6 inch

High Definition widescreen

display with anti-glare finish

which looks pleasing on the eyes

and helps diffuse unwanted

light. You will be able to work

for a long period of time without

any eye strain thanks to the

screen’s anti-glare coating.

Moreover, you will also be able

to work outdoors thanks to its

matte, anti-reflective finish.

The widescreen design of the

notebook completely eliminates

neck strain to enable you to

work for long hours without

break. As a result of the

premium finish of the display,

the notebook not only produces

vibrant visuals but also great

viewing angles that enable you

to watch videos and movies with

very good clarity.

islAnd style keyboArd

Keyboard is an integral part of

every notebook. It should be

convenient so that you can type

content for a long time without

causing any discomfort. HP

Stream 11 includes 97% size

textured island style keyboard

which is more or less equal

to those keyboards found in

mainstream laptops. It consists

of all characters, numbers and

function keys including the

Windows key using which you

can swap between tiled and

normal Windows 8 desktops.

Moreover, the keys feel very

strong and soft to touch and

don’t produce any unnecessary

noise while you’re in your

typing frenzy.

pleasing shade of blue which

looks not only attractive but

is also resistant to dust and

surface of the notebook are

very smooth to touch because

of its elegant finish and is also

over tAblets?

If you plan to invest above Rs

15k on a tablet, it is money

very well spent to purchase

HP Stream 11 since it has all

the essential ingredients of a

traditional laptop. Just look

at the table above and do

your own math. The Stream

11 offers Windows 8.1 at your

disposal with the benefit of

a keyboard and touchpad.

Windows tablets are typically

available in 8 and 10 inches

and they don’t have a separate

keyboard. You will be required

to connect a keyboard. It is

difficult to work with a tablet

for extended periods. On the

other hand, you can simply

place HP Stream 11 on your

lap or desk. Normally, tablets

will have either standard

LCD or IPS display with a

resolution of 1024x768. In case

of HP Stream 11, you have 11.6

inch widescreen anti-glare

display with a standard laptop

resolution of 1366x768.

Overall, while the HP Stream

11 laptop is as tiny and slim

as a tablet, it offers a lot more

features than most tablets.

# Widescreen disPlay

The HP Stream notebook

emphasizes a widescreen high

definition display which is great

for both watching movies and

reading text for long durations.

The “no touch” display boasts

a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution,

with a protective anti-glare

layer that keeps away the glare

accompanying a glass-surface

display. One thing is sure that

HP Stream focuses more on

offering an immersive visual

involvement with exact colors

and fabulous clarity to users.

So if you are a hardcore movie

buff, the LED backlit antiglare

screen with 16:9 True Wide

aspect ratio will permit you

to watch movies and videos to

your heart’s content.

adorable design. The HP Stream

keyboard is almost full size, with

white chiclet-style keys that give

a decent contrast to the notebook

body. Beside a couple of little

eccentricities regular to HP

keyboards you generally come

across, in the same way as half-

size arrow keys, and small-sized

Delete and Esc keys, the design

of the HP Stream is pretty

much standard. It has white

keys that are substantial and

simple to hit while writing your

biography or simply anything

you want. The Function keys

at the top perform changes to

the volume and brightness,

furthermore to conjure Flight

mode. In the event that you

have a requirement for genuine

Fnumber keys, you need to press

the Fn for their activation.

# a FuncTional Processor

The HP Stream 11 comes

with Intel® Celeron® N2840

processor. It debuted late last

year and the dual-core chip is

clocked at 2.16 GHz, with Turbo

Boost support of up to 2.58 GHz.

For the HP Stream’s on-the-go,

cloud computing needs, the

processor is more than enough

to work with cloud apps and

basic multitasking.

# 3g sim card suPPorT

The HP Stream 11 comes with

a SIM card slot that supports

3G HSPA+ data speeds. You

could without much of a stretch

get rid of the Internet dongles

and compensated with a better

connectivity out of the box.

# 32gb ssd sTorage

The HP Stream has 2GB of

RAM and 32GB solid state drive

(SSD) rather than a spinning

hard drive for local storage

–granted that’s not much but

just enough. The HP Stream

notebook is compatible with

memory cards, for example,

SD, SDHC, and SDXC. Thanks

to these flash storage options,

data transfer and access speeds

are extremely high on the HP

Stream 11 notebook.

# PalmresT & TouchPad

The HP Stream offers an island

style keyboard that is 97% the

span of a real keyboard along

with a dotted gradient pattern on

the palm rest, more specifically

for the user convenience. It

accompanies a Windows 8.1

multi touch gesture support

touchpad that guarantees

simpler navigation. In addition

to this, the Stream’s touchpad

is wide at 3.75 x 2.5 inches that

makes it less demanding to

explore the desktop with the

cursor. It is focused by chassis,

and is of a decent size with the

goal that you can move the

pointer effortlessly over the

screen’s 1366 x 768-pixel native

resolution. So you will less likely

be staring at your screen with

confused expressions trending

on your face. The palm rest lets

you park your wrist comfortably

on the Stream 11 notebook.

# connecTiviTy PorTs

The HP Stream notebook has a

decent scope of ports. There are

two USB ports: one USB 2.0 and

one USB 3.0, both on the right

side, and users get to discover a

full-sized HDMI port so you can

attach a screen or TV without

any difficulty, while an SD Card

slot, headphone jack, power jack

and lock slot line the left side.

You will discover a Kensington

lock gap alongside the volume

rocker. Additionally, there are

two speakers placed on the

underside of the unit.

# dTs sTudio sound

The HP Stream notebook figures

out how to greet users with the

astonishing and loud sound

quality, which is upgraded

with the help of a DTS Studio

Sound technology. The dual-

speakers with DTS studio sound

is intended to synchronize

your visual involvement with

fantastic sound. Presently you

can appreciate dynamic audio

nuances and rich sounds with

the assistance of DTS Studio

Sound. Despite its tiny frame,

the HP Stream does pack quite a

punch in the sound department.

# baTTery PerFormance

A 3-cell Lithium-ion battery

controls the notebook to

furnish users with a smooth

and continuous experience as

you chip away at it. The HP

Stream sits out of gear well

and perhaps, because of low

power backlighting, the battery

can keep going for 12 hours

without a charge. Under video

playback or Wi-Fi, browsing

the 43.8Wh battery returns

more than 6 hours of utilization

in both cases. Full-load, full

brightness working over Wi-Fi

can bring about a battery life as

low as 4 hours, which is pretty

impressive.

Thanks to a 3G SIM slot, staying connected to the cloud is now a reality on the HP Stream
