Processor Model: Intel 4th Generation Core i7 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. 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): 16 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.)

Nice but not flawless
For the cost of the machine, this one is not top notch. The keyboard is very strange. It takes some time to get used to typing effectively. Graphic is fantastic and the sound is great. It does not get hot. Now that I have had time to play with the machine, I would not have paid more than $2000 for something like this.
