- Processor Model: Intel Core m3 (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.)

Disappointed
Bought this computer and was very excited. When I received it, there was a dent that was so deep on one of the corners that the casing was actually cracked. In addition, the headphone jack was completely bent out of shape. I have no idea why they would try to sell this to anyone when it was clearly Not usable and probably wouldn’t last very long considering how badly it was dented. What happened to the words quality control?
