NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Is the world ready for another round of inexpensive Windows laptops? Remember those cheap, slow, under-powered \"netbooks\" from a few years ago? Can such devices compete with increasingly popular Chromebook devices? Hewlett Packard (HPQ) thinks so. <\/p>\n
HP released two colorful, Stream notebooks that run Microsoft (MSFT) Windows 8.1. There is one version with an 11.6-inch screenand the larger one we've been testing the Stream 13. Both are priced at less than $230. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We've been living with a Stream 13 for a few weeks now and are impressed with what we've seen. No, this inexpensive portable is not nearly the equivalent of a Microsoft Surface Pro 3or Lenovo's slick Yoga 3 Pro. But we've found the HP to be a good, reasonably priced device that can give Google (GOOG) Chromebooks some stiff competition. <\/p>\n
