<\/a>HP Stream 7<\/p><\/div>\n
The key thing with all of these devices is their low price point. I am writing this post on a HP Stream 7 signature edition which I bought from the Microsoft store at the sale price of \u00a379 with free postage.\u00a0 It’s terrific!\u00a0 I have thoroughly enjoyed using it and as an avid fan of all things Apple I have\u00a0been quite happy to put my other toys aside in favour of this budget device.\u00a0 As a possible tool for pupils at school this little device can pack a punch and runs Microsoft Office (bundled for a year) with ease. When you consider the ability for Scottish Schools to use windows based devices like this with the national O365\u00a0SharePoint tenancy in GLOW then these little devices have the potential to change productivity in the classroom.\u00a0 They also have a fairly parent friendly price compared to Apple devices whilst still allowing access to industry standard applications.<\/p>\n
The only downsides which I have discovered\u00a0are the battery life, as whilst I get a fair few hours from the device it’s not an all day battery, and the cameras are pretty poor. But what do you expect for this price?\u00a0 These haven’t affected the usability of the device for most purposes.<\/p>\n
Next, you need the killer apps… My research took me to a variety of applications including OneNote coupled with ClassCreator.\u00a0 However, that is worthy of it’s own post\u00a0and will come next.<\/p>\n
