Q: what is the Intel equivalent of the amd a8 (example 4th generation i3?)? also is it a quad core?
A: The A8 is equivalent to a 4th gen i3. The A8 gets a score of 6.3 on CPU Boss, while the i3 gets a 6.4. You won't really notice the difference unless you use benchmarking programs. The A8 is quad core, while the i3 is dual core. The i3 supports hyper-threading, the A8 does not.
A: it is a 1gb chip but the gb doesnt mean how good the card is, the ghz or mhz refresh rate is how fast the graphics will run. I have had no problems with playing games such as battlefield 4 on low to medium graphics. if you are wondering about video editing i have had no problems with it lagging even when doing 1080p editing.
A: I think if you are a novice to photo editiong, this is a good start. The higher end programs will take significantly faster processors and ideally 1TB. Battery life is also something to consider. Editing can be time consuming and it would be terrible to have a battery die and not be where you can plug up and complete a project. For such a budget laptop, this is alot of bang for the buck. Do consider using a mobile mouse for big projects. You will get more done with less frustration. As I commented in my review, this laptop has sharp edges. It doesn't seem to bother everyone. And seeing the screen resolution and color array for yourself can help you decide. Make sure what you see is what you need. Chances are this will be just fine, and actually teach you how much of an upgrade you will need later. You may want to check one out in person if you can.
A: no and the bloat ware can be removed by reinstalling windows freshly but however make sure you copy the lenovo drive before doing so or u'll need to order the 120$ driver install disc for the wifi adaptor
Q: can the memory be upgraded?
A: Lenovo says it's upgradeable to 16gb of RAM. However, if read my review of this machine, it seems to have issues recognizing new RAM.
Q: Does thislaptop come with microsoft word/office
A: No, you have to purchase, or use free limited time Office.
Q: Headphones?
A: Yes, this product has a headphone jack.
Q: Processor - Pentium or Celeron (or equalivent)? Processor speed?
A: Lenovo CPU Benchmark - 2,511 2.4 Ghz (Turbo) with 4 Cores Intel Core i3-2328M (2012) - 2,513 2nd Generation 2.2 Ghz with 2 Cores. Intel Core i3-5005U (2015) - 2,991 5th Generation 2.0 Ghz with 2 Cores. Intel Pentium G2020T (2013) - 2,558 2.5 Ghz with 2 Cores. Intel Core i7-5960X (2014) - 16,029 3.00GHz (Turbo) with 8 cores
