or a 128 gb card for 20 bucks:

What you get is a micro-SD with an adapter that fits in your PC to expand your storage. You can't boot from it but you can direct Windows to store everything there. You can also swap it out when it's full.

And in a year or so you'll probably be able to get a 1 TB card for the same price

4.00 GB installed RAM Grasswire2 Apr 2019 #2

Your laptop only comes with 32gb of "hard disc" space ZZenith Apr 2019 #3

WAAAAH? A 32GB HD? I find that hard to believe ... mr_lebowski Apr 2019 #6

From Laptop magazine's review of the thing ZZenith Apr 2019 #7

Gahhh ... this is bad news for our friend Grasswire ... mr_lebowski Apr 2019 #8

That would be my humble advice to Grasswire2 ZZenith Apr 2019 #9

Ah ... so you're maybe actually talking about the Memory (aka RAM), not the storage space here ... mr_lebowski Apr 2019 #4

windows 10 Grasswire2 Apr 2019 #12

And I don't think you can swap the internal hard drive on a Stream. ZZenith Apr 2019 #5

Your hard drivs capacity and your installed memory are seperate issues. CentralMass Apr 2019 #10

All in all, though - still better than keyboard issues! ZZenith Apr 2019 #11
