Real Step Backwards

Verified Purchase:Yes

I have an older version of this, a Stream 13 which runs Win 8. Works like a charm. My wife wanted a new laptop and she was so happy with her old HP Stream that she wanted the same thing. Period. Hey, the current model has a bigger screen and costs the same, wow, what a deal. Well not so fast.

Well three weeks after buying this she wants me to bury it in the backyard. CPU is pegged at 100% all the time with no applications running. Its all Windows 10 update service. so I killed that off and it was okay til you tried to run a browser, than it pegged to 100% again. Withing a few minutes of booting with the CPU at full capacity the thing starts getting physically hot. Browser performance is awful, hangs up, crashes. This piece of junk can't handle basic web browsing! My instinct is to blame it all on a combination of Windows 10 plus all the included bloatware plus and under powered processor to run all that. Or maybe the one I bought was just a lemon. But a super hot laptop that has a CPU pegged at 100% all the time is useless. It's going back tomorrow.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
