8. Speed: At a clock speed of 1.70 GHz, it is 0.96 GHz slower when
compared to other laptop processors in the Core i5 series.
Cores: It is a dual-core processor, meaning that it can devote power to
multiple applications, but will not perform as well as similar processors
with more cores.
Cache: Its 3 MB cache, is about average sized for CPU caches in the
Core i5 series. The processor cache is where the CPU stores frequently
used data in memory. Using data in the cache is much faster than getting
it the computer's main memory.

13. This laptop has the minimum amount of RAM to handle the workload of
the average user using modern application. If you find it slowing down
when multiple windows are open, consider buying more RAM, as the
memory is expandable up to 8 GB.

14. RAM type refers to different technologies of the RAM modules. DDR3
is faster than DDR2, which is faster than regular DDR.

15. RAM Speed
RAM speed is how quickly a RAM module can transfer data. However, while
it is an indicator of performance, it doesn't provide the whole picture.

17. This laptop uses a Solid State Drive (SSD) as its primary storage method.
SSDs are currently the fastest storage medium on the market and are quickly
taking the place of Hard Disk Drives (HDD) as the dominant storage medium.
The costs are higher than HDDs for the same capacity, but speed increase is
significant.

18. Windows 8 takes up about 20 GB of space. After the operating
system has been installed this drive can hold up to:
• 54000 HD Photos
• 21600 Standard Quality MP3s
• 27 HD Movies
• 7 Video Games
