After looking at the HP stream I feel like having an os like windows, that can handle off-line programs, is a better choice than chrome. What do you think?
Looks like a great piece of hardware and the fact it's running Windows is another plus.
Chrome OS never had a really huge following and was pretty limited on features and capabilities. I had that test unit CR-48 and tried to use it during my school days, but it just never had what I really wanted. I haven't looked at ChromeOS since.

I was thinking this one is a much better buy.

Which one are you considering?
That's a polite way to phrase it.
Most Android apps already run in Windows if you install Bluestacks on your PC.
Actually 8.1 works great on my SO's laptop. I'm a Win 7 man myself, but 8.1 fixed a lot of the problems with Win 8, and I really like it. You have the option of making it look like 7 as well as combining the features of both versions. So we've been quite happy with it since updating.
We bought my gf's dad a Samsung Chromebook because he is a truck driver that needed more than just his phone. Well, he has since stopped driving. We paid $169 for it. I was quite pissed when I saw the Stream on sale for $200 (I think).
I told him if he didn't like it I would return it, with plans to buy the Stream.
