The new HP Stream 11 has arrived to our country! I don't know if
Celeron
processor with 2 GB RAM is enough for Windows 8.1 but 209 Euro for
a
laptop I think is good deal. They have in pink and blue with white
keyboard. Looks pretty cool. The storage is 32 GB MMC. I'm
considering
the aquisition as a second machine. That's the kind of thing we
feel
the
need.
All reviews criticise the trackpad quite severely. Here's a typical
one;

I'd advise you to try one out before laying your money down.

The keyboard photos show it doesn't come with Euro sign. The review
says
you can't use a lot of apps at same time. The laptop comes with
Office
365 which is not cheap.
My keyboard doesn't have the Euro sign; but Alt+0128 gets it every
time.
If I used it regularly I'd probably use some utility to replace
either the
pound sterling or dollar key with it.

Now that you mention, where is the Euro sign in charmap? I was looking
in
Arial font and couldn't find it. I can't do Alt+0128 because my
keyboard is
a small one.
This keyboard doesn't have numlock or numeric keypad. How do I tyoe
special
characters like Alt+0128?
Are you sure there's not a Fn key or similar to change the function of
some keys?
Usually, though, I use Char Map and find the character somewhere in
there, then copy it from there and paste it. It's cumbersome, but it
saves learning how to use the keypad :-)
Also Windows has an onscreen keyboard, which I find too cumbersome to
use, but you might find it to be OK. It does foreign language alphabets,
but I don't know what else it can do - maybe enough for your purposes,
or maybe not.
But the other suggestion here (Stormin' Norman and Ken Blake) of a
keyboard utility program sounds better than anything I wrote.
Well, I admit to having used a similar method for years. I keep a Notepad
file handy, which I call AccentKeys, and it contains many things.

In Excel there's a function called CHAR() that returns the character from
specific ascii value. I've € for CHAR(128).
