Our Verdict

HP Stream 11 (2021)

HP Pavilion x360 11 (2021)

The HP Pavilion x360 11 (2021) and the HP Stream 11 (2021) are both 11.6" Windows laptops; however, the Pavilion x360 has a 360-degree hinge that lets you flip the screen around and use it as a tablet, while you can only use the Stream in clamshell mode. The Pavilion x360 provides a better overall user experience because it has an IPS display with wider viewing angles, a more comfortable keyboard, and a webcam with much better video quality. The Pavilion x360 also feels smoother because its Intel Pentium Silver processor can handle heavier workloads than the Stream's Intel Celeron CPU, and its SSD is significantly faster.
