Direct Comparison with HP Stream 11
The two main factors in our comparative tests will be the speed, whereby the Celeron J1800 has a higher base frequency, and my extension of this, the difference in TDP. The Bay Trail-M based Celeron N2840 has a 7.5W TDP (or as Intel puts it, 4.5W SDP) compared to the 10W of the J1800. On the graphics side of the equation, both units have the HD (Bay Trail) mode equipped (4 EUs), but the J1800 also has an advantage by a vastly superior base frequency on the integrated graphics (688 MHz against 313 MHz).
Cinebench 11.5
Each system trades places in Cinebench R11.5.
3DMark
The extra MHz of the J1800 puts it slightly above the Stream 11 in a synthetic video test.
Web Benchmarks
On the lower end processors, general usability is a big factor of experience, especially as we move into the HTML5 era of web browsing. For our web benchmarks on the CPUs, we take well known tests with Chrome 35 whereas the laptop results are performed in IE.
Sunspider 1.0.2
Sunspider represents a very quick CPU only test, boltered more by the software version or operating system at hand. It would seem the default settings with the HP Stream 11 make it beneficial here.
Mozilla Kraken 1.1
Kraken on the other hand is a bit more intense, with more memory access required. The extra memory in our desktop system most likely affected it here.
WebXPRT
Similarly with WebXPRT, as a semi-graphical test as well, the plus side was on the Bay Trail-D desktop system.

With 6 and 8 TB drives available, I'd say it would be ample for many users. It will still do more good than it would ever do as a gaming box.Plus there is a PCI-E slot, not useful for a GPU, especially with such a weak integrated CPU, but you can plug in a HDD controller card, there are PCI-E x1 controllers with 2, 4 and even 6 SATA ports.

The audience of this article is likely going to be able to relate most with gaming benchmarks. Also, have you no curiosity in how hardware like this is able to run modern games?Pretty rude and shortsighted response.

I bet everyone is wondering how good the product is at a task it is not intended for and will never be used at. That's like reviewing clothing based on the way it tastes.ddriver - Sunday, December 28, 2014 - link
BTW I don't think it is very smart of you to call "smart and on the point" "rude and shortsighted" ;) If anything, it makes you rude and shortsighted, and also a hypocrite for calling others what you are...Morawka - Sunday, December 28, 2014 - link
you were rude, now hush and run alongOxford Guy - Saturday, December 27, 2014 - link
What a product was intended for is one thing. Total/overall performance is another. If you're not interested in certain benchmarks that's your business.XZerg - Friday, December 26, 2014 - link
Normally i would avoid cursing but after numerous attempts to provide feedback on stopping these retarded Load Delta Charts I have just lost it.ian - seriously - grow a f**king blub in the brain and realize that the Load Delta Chart is absolutely f**king stupid - especially when you are reviewing a product where Idle numbers matter the most. Just go back to separate Idle and Load charts. Why is it just so f**king hard for you to realize that?!

I signed up just to say the same thing.I bet Ian probably introduces himself on various dating sites as having a penile length delta of 2 inches.
Sounds like this man is hiding something.

I usually don't make comments, but lately it seems like this should be mentioned as much as possible. AT articles unceasingly flog OEMs for junk TN panels and the use of mechanical storage in an apparent attempt to change the direction of the industry. I think it's the responsibility of the readers to therefore repeatedly point out that delta charts for power consumption are not what we want.I am glad there was at least a more reasonable PSU used in this review. 500 watts is a lot closer to what might be considered appropriate for low-consumption equipment than 1200, but the delta chart isn't just annoying, it's uninformative and utterly stupid. If you're going to be bothered with measuring idle and load wattage, why not just post the bloody numbers? I'm sure we, the readers, can handle a little bit of subtraction on our own if we want delta values. So yes, like in other recent articles, I completely support the posting of actual wattage values and +1 the carpet bombing of profanity in the post above as, at this point, earned and deserved.

If it had 4 SATAs it could make a good file server.
