Perfect Light Use Laptop

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm a technologist and writer and have had many laptops over the years; weight is an important consideration in the items I purchase, I don't like long OS lags when doing things, and I need a solid keyboard and battery life that is functional. This machine hits on all those points. The keyboard in last year's model was *slightly* better and the trackpad is serviceable. I generally buy external mice for $15-20 when I buy a laptop and then turn off the trackpad in the OS. The bloatware is minimized and is easy to remove. For general usage and readability the screen is fine, but it is a bit washed out. If you want to do large file manipulation or have lots of media this is not the machine for you; this is for writers or basic consumption through online streaming, writing emails, etc. It's durable and for the price point I can take it with me to do things without worrying too much about coffee shop spills, or drops, etc. A system that has none of the downsides this has would probably cost $350 or so. Lenovo makes several with 64G SSDs and I had purchased one of those only to have to return it due to the awkward placement of the Shift Key on the right-hand side which made typing impossible for me. In short, I was exceptionally pleased with the first generation HP Stream and while I don't love this one as much from a keyboard and screen standpoint, the 4G of Ram is essential to make even a light-use laptop functional and I have absolutely no regrets.

Can I use this computer for music composition????

It would depend on your DAW and the size of your patch library. It could work but I think you'd want an i3 or an i5.

Can Microsoft office be added to this? Will it hold lots of pictures?

I run Microsoft Office on my HP Stream 14" and use it every day; to be clear I don't use Microsoft Access on it (the database software included with Office), but Word, Excel, and Powerpoint run fine.
