AMD |
|
| Processor |
AMD A8-Series |
(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 |
2.0GHz (with Turbo CORE up to 2.4GHz) |
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) 2200 mAh |
|
| Display Type |
HD widescreen LED |
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 |
2MB |
A small segment of memory that stores frequently used information for fast access by the processor, improving response time. |
| System Memory (RAM) |
6GB |
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 SDRAM |
|
| Computer Hard Drive Size |
1TB |
Capacity for storing programs, photos, video, music and other
electronic information. Hard drive capacities range from a few gigabytes
to several hundred. |
| Optical Drive Speeds |
Drive speeds not specified |
Fastest speeds at which the drive can write, rewrite and read data. |

| Digital Media Reader or Slots |
Yes, digital media card reader |
|
| Graphics |
AMD Radeon R5 |
Type of graphics (video) adapter (usually built into the motherboard), identified by manufacturer and model. |
| Video Memory |
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 |
Built-in 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-B+G+N |
|
| Bluetooth-Enabled |
Yes |
|
| 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; 2 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 |

| Operating System Platform |
Windows |
|
| Operating System |
Windows 8.1 |
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. |
| ENERGY STAR Certified |
