Processor Brand | Intel® | |
Processor | Intel® 4th Generation 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 | 1.6GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz) | 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 | 4-cell Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) 2600 mAh | |
Display Type | HD | Technology used to display text and images on the screen. Computer monitors, notebook computers, mobile DVD players and other devices typically use LCD (flat-panel liquid crystal displays) screens. |
Screen Size (Measured Diagonally) | 15.6" | Size of the screen, in inches, measured diagonally from corner to corner. |
Cache Memory | 3MB on die Level 3 | A small segment of memory that stores frequently used information for fast access by the processor, improving response time. |
System Memory (RAM) | 4GB | 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) | DDR3L | |
Computer Hard Drive Size | 500GB | Capacity for storing programs, photos, video, music and other electronic information. Hard drive capacities range from a few gigabytes to several hundred. |
Optical Drive | DVD±RW/CD-RW | |
Optical Drive Speeds | Drive speeds not specified | Fastest speeds at which the drive can write, rewrite and read data. |
Direct-Disc Labeling | No | |
Digital Media Reader or Slots | Yes, digital media card reader | |
Graphics | UMA Intel® HD Graphics 4400 | Type of graphics (video) adapter (usually built into the motherboard), identified by manufacturer and model. |
TV Tuner | No | Enables reception of TV programs. |
MPEG | Yes | A group of digital video formats created by the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) to compress high-quality video into file sizes small enough to be transmitted over the Internet. |
Built-in Webcam | Yes | |
Modem | None | Device that allows a computer to send and receive information over telephone or cable lines. |
Networking | Built-in 10/100/1000 Mbps Fast Ethernet LAN (RJ-45 connector) | Ability to connect to other devices on a network using Ethernet, Wi-Fi (wireless; 802.11), Bluetooth, etc. |
Wireless Networking | Wireless-N | |
Bluetooth-Enabled | No | |
S-Video Outputs | None | Connections that deliver separate color and black-and-white video signals through a single cable. S-video connections provide better picture quality than RF and composite video connections but not as good as component video, DVI and HDMI connections. |
Speakers | Internal | |
PCMCIA Slots | None | Slots in notebook computers that accept credit-card-size upgrade cards. Type I is used mostly for memory, Type II for modem, fax and network cards, and Type III for hard drives. |
USB 2.0 Ports | 1 USB 3.0; 1 USB 2.0 | Ports that allow high-speed (up to 480 Mbps) data transfer between compatible devices. |
IEEE 1394 FireWire Ports | None | (Also known as FireWire, Apple Computer's trademarked name for IEEE 1394.) High-speed connection that supports data transfer rates of up to 400 Mbps or 800 Mbps (depending on port version). |
Parallel Ports | None | Older and relatively slower interface most commonly used to connect a PC to a printer. |
Game Ports | None | Jacks for connecting video game controllers. |
Laptop Weight | Ultraportable (5.5 lbs. or less) | |
Battery Life | Not available | |
Pointing Device | Touchpad | |
HDMI Output | Yes | |
Blu-ray Player | No | |
Operating System Platform | Windows | |
Operating System | Windows 8 | 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. |
