HP Stream 14-cf2112wm vs HP 15.6-Inch Pentium N200 Laptop

The HP 15.6-inch Pentium N200 is the better pick for most people. It has a sharper 1080p screen, a faster Pentium N200 chip, twice the storage, a backlit keyboard and a touchscreen. The Stream 14 is lighter and smaller, so it suits buyers who carry a laptop all day and mostly browse and stream. Owners of the Stream 14 praise the low weight and matte screen but complain about 4GB RAM and 64GB storage filling up fast. The Pentium model is heavier at 5 lb and its RAM cannot be upgraded past 4GB, so neither is a long-term workhorse.

• Choose the HP Stream 14 if you want the lightest, smallest 14-inch laptop for web browsing, email and streaming, and you can live with 64GB of storage.
• Choose the HP 15.6-inch Pentium N200 if you want a bigger, sharper 1080p touchscreen, a backlit keyboard and more storage for everyday home or school work.
