Processor |
Intel Core i5 |
(Also known as the CPU). The part of the computer that interprets and executes instructions. Think of it as the brain of the computer. |
Processor Speed |
2.60GHz |
How fast a computer processor carries out instructions. In general,
faster is better, but processor speeds across brands may not be
equivalent (i.e., a 3.0GHz AMD processor may not be the same speed as a
3.0GHz Intel processor). |
Battery Type |
6-cell Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) 6000 mAh |
|
Display Type |
Widescreen Active Matrix TFT Color LCD LED Backlit with ComfyView Technology |
Technology used to display text and images on the screen. Computer

typically use LCD (flat-panel liquid crystal displays) screens. |
Screen Size (Measured Diagonally) |
14" |
Size of the screen, in inches, measured diagonally from corner to corner. |
Cache Memory |
3MB |
A small segment of memory that stores frequently used information for fast access by the processor, improving response time. |
System Memory (RAM) |
4 gigabytes |
The memory a computer uses to run its operating system, applications
and active data files. Greater amounts of RAM improve speed and enable
more applications to run at once. |
System Memory (RAM) Expandable To |
8GB |
Maximum amount of memory a computer can support (as opposed to the amount that comes preinstalled). |
Type of Memory (RAM) |
DDR3 SDRAM |
|
Hard Drive Type |
Serial ATA 7200 RPM HDD |
Hard drives are classified based on the interface they use to connect to a computer. Common interfaces for internal hard drives include EIDE, PATA (also known as, ATA and IDE), SATA and SCSI. Common interfaces for external hard drives include USB 2.0, FireWire and eSATA. |

Operating System |
Windows 7 Professional |
The master software that controls hardware functions and provides a
platform on top of which any software applications will run. Commonly
used systems include Microsoft Windows, Mac OS and Chrome OS for
computers; Android, Apple iOS, BlackBerry and Windows Phone for cell
phones; and Android, Apple iOS and Windows for tablets. |
Operating System Bit Version |
64-bit |
The terms "32-bit" and "64-bit" refer to the way a computer's
processor (CPU) handles information. A 64-bit operating system handles
large amounts of system memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit
system.
Most software programs designed for a 32-bit operating system will work
on the 64-bit version, with the exception of many antivirus programs.
However, if a program is designed for a 64-bit operating system, it is
not backwards-compatible with a 32-bit version.
Device drivers designed for a 32-bit system will not work on computers
running a 64-bit operating system. Similarly, drivers designed for a
64-bit system will not work with a 32-bit version. |
