Is this old Windows 8 stock clearance or a newer Windows 10 machine?
If it's Windows 10, I guess this is a OK price for what's essentially a low end Chromebook competitor.
If it's Windows 8, I think there are better Windows 8 clearance deals. E.g. this metal bodied, 64GB, full HD touchscreen 2 in 1 ASUS. Asus T100 chi
Personally, I wouldn't buy a Windows 8 machine now the free windows 10 upgrade has ended. No matter how much unsaleable Windows 8 stock companies have left to clear cheaply from their shelves.

This may possibly be a nationwide deal, as I saw this deal in the Clitheroe branch of Sainsbury's yesterday.

Its not designed to store anything on it.
You have the MicroSD slot you can use though.

CPU is fine but the RAM and storage are pathetic.

Google Authenticator is your friend, you can then keep the password short :wink:

buy a u2f dongle and you don't even have to remember a pin, just use it as a finger print authentication, currently main two services using u2f are google and Dropbox.

just be aware HP has already announced that their entire stream range is being updated very shortly, google it and you'll see, so these will now be considered old stock and price reductions will ensue.

Decent price, but if you don't need windows that Amazon Chromebook deal might be a better buy.

The Amazon Chromebook is a much better deal for sure, until you realise that you have to use your Google account password each time to login, which is all well and good if your password is 1234 but in my case and anyone in their right mind who relies on their Google account for almost anything I've set it to be as long and complex as possible.
It's ridiculous they wont let you set up a PIN number like on phones to unlock it.

They've been flogging the pink and blue cases for this off for £2 in Hedge End Sainsburys recently. I got the last one in Hedge End but worth checking if they have one in your local should you buy one of these...

You can now unlock your Chromebook with a PIN
