HP Stream 7 review
Picked up a HP Stream 7 at Amazon and have been loving it:
HP’s Stream 7 Tablet with Windows 8.1 and MS Office 365
+IPS display
+Nice size and build quality
+128GB MicroSDXC support
+USB OTG support
+Free MS Office
+Free 25GB of Dropbox space
+Runs Chrome and uTorrent quite well
+Respectable battery life
+Very nice hardware for a great price*
*Amazon currently has it for $99 with free shipping!
HP Stream 7 32GB Windows 8.1 Tablet (Includes Office 365)http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NSHLVD2/Lightning-fast performance: Get the speed and responsiveness of the powerful Intel quad core processor
Cons:
-Doesn’t have mini-HDMI output
-More internal storage would be nice (but MicroSDXC makes it okay for me)
-No RDP server for this version of Windows 8.1
Overall, this is a pretty sweet tablet deal IMHO!
PS skip the Nextbook 8 that WalMart is selling at $99 for Black Friday, it has a TERRIBLE TN screen, that has sparkle and very poor viewing angles. The only upside versus the HP is that the Nextbook does have HDMI out, but the screen is just so terrible there is no way I can recommend the Nextbook.

Thanks. I bought it. I like it.
Happy New Year.

Hello,
You describe the tablet as offering “128GB MicroSDXC support”, put the documentation only specifies 32GB. Did you actually test with a 128 GB card, or are you just assuming that it will work because it supports SDXC?
Thanks in advance
Hey KStock, that’s a fair call-out. I listed 128GB SDXC support based on the SDXC specification (which technically allows up to 2TB), but I did not personally test a 128GB card in the Stream 7. HP’s documentation saying 32GB likely reflects what they officially tested and supported. So I was extrapolating from the spec rather than verifying it. I’d treat 32GB as the safe, confirmed maximum until someone reports success with a larger card.
