Hey all,

I am looking on getting a new laptop. Right now i have the HP envy x360 15.6 with i5 but i realized when i purchased it, it was very uncomfortable to carry around the university so my father offered me to give him my laptop and he would get me a different one. I am looking for a budget laptop probably around $300 and even less if possible and have a screen around 13inches. I need the laptop just for school and youtube videos/netflix and browsing and also using office. I wont be gaming on it as i have a gaming desktop but would be nice to play some solitaire sometimes. I was looking at the HP stream 13 and 14 they do look very interesting but i do have concerns about 2 things: the ram size and then 1080p video playback( i watch instructor videos and having a clear resolution to read the board/paper is a must). I like the SSD idea or in this case called eMMC although it's only 32GB it will be enough because i dont use much storage to start with.

Thank you!
