| Processor | Intel® 3rd Generation Core™ i3 | (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 | 2.5GHz | 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 | |
|---|
| Display Type | High-definition LED-backlit with BrightView technology (1366 x 768) | Technology used to display text and images on the screen. Computer monitors are available in 2 types: CRT (traditional tube displays) and LCD (flat-panel liquid crystal displays). Notebook computers, PDAs, mobile DVD players and other devices use LCD 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) | DDR3 SDRAM | |
|---|
| Computer Hard Drive Size | 750GB | 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. |

| Graphics | Intel® HD Graphics 4000 | Type of graphics (video) adapter (usually built into the motherboard), identified by manufacturer and model. |
|---|
| Video Memory | Up to 1696MB (shared) | Manages display functions, including screen refresh rates, resolution and color. The more video memory a computer has, the better graphics and video will look. |
|---|
| 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 | 10/100Base-T 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-B+G+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 | 3 | 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. |

| 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 and Mac OS X for computers and Palm OS and Microsoft Windows Mobile for PDAs. |
|---|
| 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. |
