The indicated Stream 14 seems, by all accounts, to be a beefed-up adaptation of HP's Chromebook 14, which is valued at $279 and appeared in late 2013.

The Stream 14 will have the same presentation specs, RAM, and ports as the Chromebook 14, taking into account the hole.

Where it begins to vary, notwithstanding, is the processor. Portable Geeks says the Stream 14 will come pressed with a 1.6 GHz AMD A4 Micro-6400t quad-center Soc rather than an Intel "Sound Trail" Atom chip. The HP Chromebook 14 accompanied the 1.4 GHz Intel Celeron 2955u. Power utilization for the AMD chip is evaluated at 4.5 watts, which is low-control enough ...
... to run without a fan.
