HP Stream 7 Review. I've been doing some gaming performance videos on the little $100 HP Stream 7 Windows Tablet and it occurs to me I haven't reviewed it. So here it is..

In my honest opinion is for $100 you cannot buy a better tablet. It has its shortcomings, yes, but they can all be overlooked at a $100 price point The Windows ecosystem far outweighs the iOS and Android tablet OS's. Being able to install just about any app made for modern Windows is an incredible ability on a tablet (why even bother with the MS App Store?)... the only downfall is that the screen size isn't always workable for such a robust software library... now, if it had a Micro HDMI, it would be a different story however. But... as it stands, its a fantastic buy and highly recommended!

** Also, I recommend ordering from the Microsoft Store for their "Signature Edition" hardware... no bloatware or cramware is added to these machines, just a nice clean Windows 8.1 OS. Often the MS store has better hardware deals than local brick-and-mortar retail outlets.
