Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- System Memory (RAM): 6 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

Q: Why does this laptop get hot so fast? I'm just browsing and it is scorching hot!
A: AMD chips run hot. Every HP laptop I've purchased has run hot & they have all had AMD chips in them. Seriously, try an Intel chip next time and get an SSD drive. Almost no heat, and never hear a fan... Best Regards (google this problem to see if anyone has run across a fix for your laptop, HP had updated the BIOS for a download on one of my hot laptops)
A: Anyone saying that AMD doesn't make functional processors is just biased. Whether you choose Intel or AMD (now that Cyrix and Via are out of the picture), you basically just get what you pay for. For AMD, the E-1 and E-2 suck, but anything in the A-series is usually decent, and the A8 and A10 are usually good, with the A10 on up (and now the A12 and FX) being the more "premium" stuff that you can actually run games on. This laptop actually has a good A10 processor, it just skimps on other features like not having a backlit keyboard or bluetooth. The processor is surprisingly strong for the low price however.
Q: is this a good laptop for playing games like the Sims and Minecraft?
A: Yes it should play those 2 no problems. I play skyrim and Fallout New Vegas at 40 FPS so those should get 60+
Q: besides touchscreen, is it compatible with a mouse
A: Yes it is, I use a wireless mouse with this laptop all of the time. Works great!
Q: Is it compatible with, iTunes, and chrome google?
A: Of Course, all PCs today are compatible with iTunes and Chrome. Make sure when you download iTunes, you choose the "Windows 64 Bit version" Chrome installs either way, 32 bit or 64 bit, and installs on ALL Windows based PCs.
Q: Does it have VGA output to hook up to a monitor or projector?
A: It has HDMI out only
Q: What is the processing speed?
A: FROM AMD's WEBSITE: ◾An AMD A10 APU can provide up to double the graphics performance of the Intel Core i5 ◾Fantastic Windows® 10 and accelerated app performance from leading software makers such as Adobe®, ArcSoft and Corel There are various versions of AMD A10 Series, and also depending on what the GPU is, of course integrated, but looking his up and going with the lowest ended A10 series, I found: 3.6 GHz Base Frequency, 4 GHz CPU Boost Frequency. Lots of info on the AMD website, and use the "specs" info given on BestBuy to match this. Hope this helps
Q: Does this laptop have a network card to connect to the network or internet? Or can I add one?
A: It has both Ethernet and wireless connectivity.
