Default It finally arrived!

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?

You might want to look into using the free WizKey
https://antibody-software.com/web/so...de-characters/

It does that and lots more.

209Euros. So they should be £150, but actually they are £180. I wonder
why that is. It's 20% more.
