HP Stream 7 @ US$99

[Entry Level PC]

It takes only about 11 seconds to power up, so the benefit of shutting down outweighs the sleep mode/frequent charging.

yup and you can't play music, or keep your internet connection running during sleep mode.
so sleep mode really is sibei useless.
just that you that you get to switch on pc within 2 seconds.

I perma-set the screen to always on, and always charging, since its use for torrent and ip radio/music.

got my stream 7 yest, amazon FSSG shipped by UPS Worldwide Expedited.
i ordered on 6th feb so took 12days to get here, consider very good shipping and surprisingly ups deliver on cny eve afternoon.

i tested my stream 7, for 6hrs in sleep model batt dropped 3%.
i will test some more and update again.
my stream 7 also dont have the headphones buzzing problem too. thought is a common problem?
so far very happy with it, for us$79 really a good buy.

I guess need to throw already, repairing will not be viable i think.

i tried the above method for batt drainage due to the wifi and volume issue and it works.
for 24hrs i lost about 20+% of batt than 100% within 10hrs.
