The HP Stream 7 received mostly positive reviews. Brandon Chester ofAnandTech gave a positive review, saying that the Stream 7 is "not the best tablet overall, but [is] the best tablet at its price point by a large margin".[4] Strong points noted in the review include the use of an IPS display panel and its CPU performance, and weak points noted include the insufficient amount of RAM, bad build quality of the removable back cover, low battery life, and an "essentially unusable" 3.5 mm audio jack which generates a great deal of static and noise.[4] Florian Wimmer ofNotebookCheck gave a score of 78%, also saying that the Stream 7 is suitable for users with a low budget.[3]
The HP Stream 7 was initially launched at a price ofUS$119, though it has been sold at the price ofUS$99 in the Black Friday shopping period of 2014.[1] In February 2015,ZDNet reported that theMicrosoft Store was selling the Signature Edition of the Stream 7 forUS$79.[5] The Stream 7 was launched alongside the Stream 8, with near-identical specifications other than having an 8" display and having HSPA+ cellular data connectivity.
