See my most recent HP Stream review as a comparative:
HP doesn't really market this laptop (in fact it even lacks a name) but it's a better value than their HP Stream 11 and 14 line of laptops that sell for $199 and $229 respectively.
What makes this one a better buy is that it has a really nice 1080p 14" IPS display - something I haven't seen on a $200 Windows laptop before. The nicer display comes at the cost of battery life, with the removable battery pack delivering just 4 or 5 hours of usage tops.
The machine is powered by an AMD E2-7110 APU (quad core) along with 4 GB of RAM and 32GB EMMC storage. Another advantage here over the Stream is that it is upgradeable to 8 GB of RAM and possibly a SATA hard drive (see more at the Amazon link for what other users are doing to upgrade their laptops).
If you can live with the battery life this is a better buy over the Stream with comparable performance. The display and upgradeability are key selling points.
