Title: Portable laptop - Help needed
Post by: Kaze on February 16, 2016, 01:38:15 am: HP Stream 11-r005na

I have been looking at this model and I really want to buy it but before I do I want some help from you guys so I don't waste my time with it. This is purely for me taking to the library because my current laptop is heavy af.

IntelÂ® CeleronÂ® N3050 - 1.6ghz dual core
2 GB DDR3L SDRAM
32 GB eMMC (I have 25gb onedrive and will slap on micro sd card)

Will the above be enough for the following

Browser open with couple of tabs including youtube
1-3 Microsoft Word/Powerpoint documents open so I can bounce back and forward with my assignments

Streaming HD movies

GMA = Graphics Media Accelerator, They don't have VRAM & No HD Shader Supports.

They are intergated cards like Intel HD Graphics, If you add more RAM, The VRAM Increases.
Your CPU is weak, it can't run games smoothly like GTA SA.

Post by: Kaze on February 17, 2016, 12:25:26 am: I did not have access to the internet at all today but I did get myself a different netbook and boy am I happy with my purchase! Very smooth considering the specs.

Lenovo ideapad 100s

All I really need this for is lightweight to do my college work anywhere and occassionally watch movies and it fits my criteria.

Topic can be locked.

My 'old' laptop now acts as a primary laptop connected to my TV so 9/10 times it will remain at home while I take this netbook with me to the library/cafe or where ever I go to do work.

I'm using and posting on my netbook right now and I am truly impressed with the performance and you can't go wrong with spending Â£150 on it (190 euros/215 dollars)

Intel GMA is long history. This one has Intel HD Graphics. Also, the laptop in question isn't meant for gaming at all.

Anyway, locked as requested.
