All of HP's Stream new devices use the Windows 8.1 operating system and are powered by Intel (INTC) processors.

In our brief encounter with the new laptops, we were impressed with how portable and deceptively lightweight both units felt. By using Intel's new Celeron processors, the new Stream computers HP was able to skip using an internal fan and also provide up to 8.5 hours of battery life on a charge.
