What is a stream laptop? I bought an HP Omen 17" Gaming laptop four years ago to have a powerful machine for software development. I'll never buy another HP laptop. The keyboard is amongst the worst I have ever used and I'm including the Sinclair Spectrum in that comparison. The touch pad is getting so I have to tap hard to make it respond. If it's representative of HP laptops, I'd say steer clear of all of them.

@ninalanyon why my hp stream 14 is good and fast?

@Thexboxoneguy1991 I didn't say anything as about the speed. But I do a lot of typing, it's important that the keyboard be reliable and the touch pad accurate and repeatable.
And I forgot to mention that the left alt key has split into two pieces.

@Thexboxoneguy1991 My Omen keyboard was ok too when it was only a year old. But I dread to think how well it would have held up if it had actually been used for gaming.

@ninalanyon I don't use my laptops for gaming much

@ninalanyon Keyboards on laptops is a difficult one as I've destroyed nearly every one on a modern laptop without really giving it much thought.
That said I agree HP laptops are sh!t, the machines are ill thought out and poorly put together usually there's a design flaw somewhere to be found (poor processing power, over heating problems, poorly configured over bloated software, etc) so yours having an extra specially sh!te keyboard and touch-pad for the money you paid certainly doesn't surprise me at all.🙄

@Thexboxoneguy1991 Fair enough, but the Omen is supposed to be a gaming machine. So it really should have a keyboard to that can take a pounding.
