Spotted the deal on this laptop HP Stream Celeron 11' 2GB 32 GB SSD laptop. £149.99. Plus you will also get £10 voucher if you spend more than £100. They also have it in grey colour which is nice colour for laptop.
As my laptop has died, I am seriously considering this laptop and I am on a badget. Has anyone had any experience of using this laptop? Sorry can't post the link.

Have a search on HotUKDeals, Sainsburys were selling these for around £105 earlier this year. 32Gb storage is very low and reviews not very good.

Celeron and 32gb YUK .

Is Lenovo ideapad 11' laptop same price range would be better? Or Lenovo Miix 300 2 in 1 10' laptop?
I have to stick with Argos as I got their vouchers to spend.

Hp stream just isn't fit for purpose, it was meant to be windows answer to chrome book, but windows os isn't cloud centric and invariably you have to install apps which will use the hard drive pretty quick. The ram and hdd are soldered directly onto themotherboard so it ccan't be expanded.

Thank you a lot. Are Lenovo Miix 300 2 in 1 10' laptop or lernovo ideapad 11.6 are any better? Would appreciate your advice.

I got one of those (HP Stream 11) from Tesco Direct about three months ago, £89 for the last few available!

Needs a large SD card and a USB/ethernet hub to make it fairly usable.

Not quite as limited as the ghastly netbook format, but not brimming with power and capability.

Mine is a rather nice pale blue, which makes up for all the deficiencies! :rotfl:

Did you have to expand storage capacity as it was running out of space? I've heard that there are unlimited unstoppable windows 10 updates coming so it would run out of space pretty quick.

No, I wanted to have some spare space away from the Windows drive.

Windows 10 updates don't take all that much space..

You can't go wrong for £89!
I am thinking between getting this HP Stream Celeron 116 or Lenovo ideapad 11.6 or Lenovo Miix 300 10.1. Any advice? Its looks like HP Stream Celeron has a better sturdy build than those lenovo?

To be honest, I don't really have a useful view on these small laptops.
We use 15.6" Lenovo Thinkpad 520s, or similar, bought second-hand, and they are really solid boxes.
