Reviewers praise this lightweight HP laptop for its ease of use — and it’s down to an unbelievable $169 at Walmart

In the market for a new laptop? This phenomenal HP Stream laptop is on sale right now at Walmart, down from $229 to…(drumroll please)…. just $169! Yup, you read that right. It’s small, light, and immensely portable, with enough power to handle work, school, or just a bit of end-of-day browsing. Plus, it comes in two fun colors — pink and blue.

Why is this a good deal?

Laptops are more affordable than ever — but nothing comes close to this type of deal. To see a machine like this for just $169 is astonishing, especially when you add in the additional value of the Office 365 subscription. But it gets better: this is also the lowest price anywhere on the web at the moment. You won’t find a better deal than this.

Why should I buy this?

This isn’t the most powerful laptop out there, but it isn’t meant to be. What it lacks in power it more than makes up for in design and weight. With a 14-inch screen, a slim profile and a weight of only a few pounds, it’s ideal for stuffing into a backpack or shoulder bag.

The true standout inclusion here is Office 365; this laptop comes with instant access to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and the rest of Microsoft’s suite of tools, free for one year. That’s a $70 value on its own! If you’re a student or you want to use this machine for work, these tools are a must-have.

What reviewers say

“This is a great laptop. I honestly got it because it was pink but alongside that, it works very well and comes with a charger. Definitely worth the price,” one shopper reports.

“I bought this laptop for my partner because he is headed to college soon,” another reviewer writes. “He absolutely loves the laptop. It is a bit smaller in size, but works great. Initial boot-up and installs went perfectly. It came with a free year of Office365 and we did also get the warranty in case of any accidents. I highly recommend this for school-aged children (middle-high school) as well as for college students and adults who need a laptop for school and general usage.”

Another says: “Bought this laptop because I’m taking some college courses. It’s lightweight and the color is nice. But most of all it is easy to use! I’m not the best at technology, so the ease of this laptop is awesome.”

“Sweet and simple,” says a shopper. “…I am not picky. I really needed a screen bigger than my phone for work so I got this and she works great. I really am excited to own my first computer. She will go on many adventures with me and my family. She loads quickly and holds many open tabs…”
