A couple of years ago we already had $199 netbooks and now HP is introducing a new 14" laptop that has exactly the same price point. This dirt-cheap notebook won't deliver stellar performance but it may be a good fit for people who only need to send some e-mails, check Facebook and browse the web.

Liliputing writes HP's Stream features a 14" 1366 x 768 pixel display and is powered by AMD's A4 Micro-6400T "Mullins" 4.5W SoC with integrated Radeon R3 graphics. Other features of this Windows 8.1 laptop include 2GB DDR3 memory, 32GB to 64GB of eMMC SSD storage, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI, an SDXC memory card reader, one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, four speakers with Beats audio and a 720p webcam. You also get 100GB of Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage for two years.

The battery has a capacity of 32Whr. Stream measures 13.5" x 9.5" x 0.7" and weighs about 3.9 pounds. Availability is unknown.
