    It's clear that when it comes to operating systems, HP isn't one to play favorites: The company's current lineup includes Windows machines, Chromebooks and even an Android laptop. At the same time, if there's anyone who's been giving Chrome OS a run for its money, it's good ol' Hewlett-Packard. After releasing a pair of aggressively priced laptops, each of them marketed as "Chromebook killers," the company is back, and this time it's taking on Chromeboxes. Here at CES, HP has just announced two miniature Windows desktops, both of which are small and inexpensive enough to compete with Chrome. At the lower end, there's the $180 Stream mini, which has a bright blue, plastic chassis, just like the Stream 11 laptop we reviewed recently. The higher-end Pavilion mini ($320) has a slightly more sophisticated design, though the overall shape is the same -- a 2-inch-high cube with four USB 3.0 ports, an audio jack, HDMI socket and DisplayPort.

    Contrary to earlier rumors, HP's Chromebook-like Stream 14 turned out to be more expensive than people had hoped for when it was announced a few weeks ago. Having said that, today HP is finally introducing its $199 laptop with Windows, staying in line with what a company representative had told us before in regards to the Stream line expanding beyond the 14-inch machine. But there's more, since HP's new, budget-friendly, 11.6-inch laptop isn't the only fresh announcement. There's a 13.3-inch model as well, priced at $230, which, along with the $199 Stream, features an Intel Celeron processor and 32GB of flash storage. In addition to this pair of notebooks, HP is also introducing two Windows 8.1 tablets: the HP Stream 7 and HP Stream 8. If the moniker for each didn't give it away, they are 7- and 8-inch slates, respectively, with the former costing a mere $99 and the latter going for $149.

  • HP's Chromebook-like 'Stream' laptop is real, but not as cheap as we thought

    When we first saw leaks for the HP Stream, a $199 laptop primarily meant to be used online, like a Chromebook, we were pretty excited -- here was something as affordable as a Chrome OS device, but running Windows 8.1. It turns out, however, that although the Stream is indeed a real product, it's not as cheap as we all thought. HP just formally unveiled it, and it's actually going to start at $300, not $199, as Microsoft itself previously promised.
