I bought the WORST Laptop in 2024...

I'm kinda in the mood to go out and buy an HP Stream...

This thing is legit weaker than a $200 smartphone wtf

Thing to consider, I work at a school, we bought these cheaper as we bought in bulk and put chrome flex on them - they work great and actually cost less than the cheapest chromebook.

Any computer that has S mode usually only feels fine in linux

You know it’s good when there’s celery inside... from 2019. Even if you refrigerated it, yikes.

My grandmother uses one of these. These type of laptops are pretty much for 70+ year olds who wants the cheapest laptop they can find and it is the only deciding factor instead of taking performance/specs into consideration, so they can go on FB and doesn't care about how many Chrome tabs they can have open or how fast/slow the computer is

I have a windows chromebook from 2016💀

Nothing against the rest of the crew, but this style of solo Austin content has been incredibly refreshing to see!

hmm that resolution is HD. HD is only 720p, everyone thinks 1080p is HD but thats actually FHD. So yes that laptop does have a HD screen. Granted a bit of a cheap crappy one but its HD. Its meant for a cheap, breakable not losing much idea of a laptop. Like just kids, streaming, etc. If you dont pay the costs, lots of things only stream in HD (720p) not FHD or better. That's why it exists in 2024. But really never meant for anything past word processing at best, which is why it comes with 365. But for the cost, even 200 dollar chromebooks suck. To get good ones, youll be paying probably double that price and that's not a price that everyone can afford, especially for something given to a kid. And used market sucks for laptops, especially for cheap ones, they are usually beat to hell or used so hard things are just shit(damaged, broken, etc). I'd never give a kid a laptop that is 400-500+ for every day use, they destroy everything way too easily and not gonna toss hard earned cash at something for them to break. Rather run risk of losing say 200-250 bucks than say 350-450 for them breaking a fancier cheap laptop/used laptop just because it was "a bit faster." Cheap laptops have a use, even this one, just not a use for everyone. Even 100-150 bucks more is hard for many to afford. That's why lots are using 100-200 dollar or less smartphones that exist because they just can't afford better versions. Is it shit, yep, is it slow, yep, but it will load websites(granted slower), will word process, which is all a school kid needs or anyone who just doesn't do much on a pc.

That wallpaper brought back a lot of memories 😅

I almost bought this thing because I was in the market for a light work device. I went with an android tablet with a keyboard attachment instead.

The thing is that Microsoft could make a stripped back version of windows free of the bloat they include just for low end devices. But they know everyone would install that on higher end PCs too, because no-one wants that bloat. They kinda of already make a stripped back version with the LTSC build but they make it difficult for the average user to legally acquire it.

Didn't know you could buy a laptop at a 24 hour fitness :O

I remember watching your video on that blue HP Stream back in the day and here we are today😅

I recognized that 24 hour fitness 👀

I really enjoy this kind of video style. It's changes up things compared to your regular "table content" :)

When your phone outperforms this thing:

How is this still twice as good as my laptop
