HP flow revealed: Microsoft Chromebook killer is a clone of Chromebook

Microsoft drove out Linux as the platform of choice hopes during the netbook craze and now the creator of Windows that can do the same for the latest PC upstarts, the Chromebook.

In July, Microsoft announced its intention in this sense showing out of Hewlett-Packard, an upcoming $ 199 laptop designed to take the Chromebook. Slightly more expensive laptops around $ 249 are also due in coming months by Acer and Toshiba.

When Microsoft introduced HP stream, little was known about the specifics of the device. Now, thanks to a loss by the German-language site Mobile geeks, we're getting a better idea.

Geeks mobile has gotten their hands on a supposed HP service manual detailing the $ 199 version of the stream called the HP flow 14. It is not clear how geeks Mobile has taken the manual, but it seems that HP may have accidentally leaked as Liliputing find the same information like Mobile geeks on the HP Web site.

Using Google to do a site-specific search HP.com Tuesday morning discovered several ads for streaming 14 including the above page, which is no longer alive.

Detailing the flow
The alleged 14 flow seems to be a beefed up version of HP Chromebook 14, which is priced for $ 279 and debuted in late 2013.

The 14 will have the same specs, RAM and display ports as the Chromebook 14, based on the loss.

Where it starts to differ, however, is the processor. Mobile geek says that 14 Stream will be packed with a SoC quad-core AMD A4 Micro-6400T 1.6 GHz instead of an Intel Atom chip "Bay Trail". Chromebook 14 HP came with 1.4 GHz Intel Celeron 2955U. Energy consumption for the AMD chip is rated at 4.5 watts, which is at low power enough to run without a fan.

Equipped with 14-inch display resolution 1366 flow-by-768, which was the norm on laptops several years ago and is popular on Chromebook and business laptops. For RAM, you get the same 2 GB expandable not as the Chromebook 14.

Being a traditional desktop PCs, the flow will come with slightly more storage space on board, with 32 GB and 64 GB options than Chromebook 14 16 GB.

Based on the flow loss would also have a webcam 720 p, four speakers with Beats audio, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, an SD card reader, HDMI output, a USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports and a battery 2960mAh. The device weighs-in approximately 3.86 pounds.
