HP DreamScreen 100 Review

In many ways, the HP DreamScreen 100 is the digital photo frame you’ve always wanted—mostly because it doesn’t just show photos. Instead of staring at your friends and family all day, this mini computer makes your life seem a lot more exciting, with the ability to stream music and pictures, as well as tap into Facebook and Pandora features. However, it does have a few telling flaws worth knowing about as well. Read on to get to know more about it. Before diving into the review, it’s worth nothing here that we got our hands on the DreamScreen 100, which is the 10.2-inch model. (Also offered is a DreamScreen 130 model that stretches display size to 13.3 inches.) Both feature 2GB of internal storage and can stream photos and music, as well as play video and connect to Web services. Inside the faux-velvet-lined box, the DreamScreen is hefty, weighing in at about 3lbs. The screen stand resembles a doorstop, and screws into the back of the unit. Other items in the box include the power adapter, a remote, a mini USB cable, PC software and setup guides, as well as a soft cleaning cloth. The unit can operate in wired or wireless mode when it comes to the Web.
