HP 14" Stream Laptop PC (Refurbished)

  • A very cheap, very blue 14” laptop
  • It has a "Canadian keyboard,” which means it has dedicated keys for “Tim Hortons” and “Sorry”
  • Processor is 1.6 GHz Intel Celeron, RAM is 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM, hard drive is 32 GB eMMC, OS is Windows 10, and weight is 3.2 lbs
  • And we really can’t emphasize enough how blue it is
  • Model: 14-AX010CA (Given the near-infinite types and configurations of PCs out there, they are a rare product where the model number is actually helpful.)

Pretty Meh, Eh?

A for-real, non-Chromebook laptop for the price of a Manhattan parking ticket? What’s the catch?

Well, there are several catches. But don’t think of them as “catches,” think of them as “catch-ortunities.” Because remember: We wouldn’t be able to sell them at this price if there weren’t a few.

Catch: It has a “Canadian keyboard” (picture in link). We’re not totally sure what this means, or why it includes a “£” symbol, but the layout is a bit different.
Catch-ortunity: Dip your toes in the “moving to Canada” waters. We’re not going to get political, but if you have … umm … read the news, you may have formed the opinion that this country is going to hell in a autocracy basket. And, Ill-advised games of dress-up aside, Canada still looks like an attractive alternative. But can you handle the culture shock, starting with the keyboards? Here’s one way to find out.

Catch: It’s Blue AF. The pictures are not oversaturated. If anything, they downplay the blueness.
Catch-ortunity: Give the baristas something to help them remember you by. I have been going to the same coffee shop to write for months, and the baristas are only just now beginning to recognize me and my complex order (“a coffee, for here”). It makes sense they can’t identify me, because every patron including myself is wearing the same hipster uniform — 10 o’clock shadow, cuffed jeans, AllBirds, and gray laptop. Showing up with this exceedingly blue-hued laptop would earn you an instant spot in the baristas’ limited memory.

Catch: Speaking of limited memory, this laptop (like all HPs, as far as we can tell) is full of bloatware that takes up a goodly bit of hard drive space.
Catch-ortunity: You can learn more about computers as you root through directories and delete folders until something breaks. It’s like a crash-course (literally) in the Windows operating system!
