    • Processor Model: Intel 5th Generation Core i5 (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): 8 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.)

  • Storage
    • Hard Drive Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's mechanical hard drive. Hard disk drives (HDDs) typically have larger capacities than solid state drives (SSDs) but may have slower speeds.)
    • Hard Drive RPM: 5400 revolutions per minute (A hard drive's data is stored on disks, or platters, that spin while transferring information to the host system. The higher the RPM, the faster the hard drive's performance.)
  • Memory
    • System Memory (RAM): 8 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.)

  • Graphics
    • Graphics Type: Integrated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)

Q: Would this be a good laptop for my son to play minecraft, roblox, & watch/upload youtube videos?

A: This laptop is more than enough to play these online games you mentioned. Once you get to more intensive games like Rise of the Tomb Raider / Grand Theft Auto V, then you will need to look elsewhere. If your child is playing Minecraft and Roblox, he may have years to go before you expose him to the more graphically intensive games out there. Recommended Requirements to run Minecraft are as follows: CPU: Intel Core i3 or AMD Athlon II (K10) 2.8 GHz RAM: 4GB GPU: GeForce 2xx Series or AMD Radeon HD 5xxx Series (Excluding Integrated Chipsets) with OpenGL 3.3 HDD: 1GB Latest release of Java 8 from java.com

Q: My wife is looking for a laptop primarily for Quick Books and Photoshop. Will this have sufficient processing power for those applications?

A: unbelievable, people who do not know what they are doing, should not answer questions. This computer has plenty of power to run the programs you mentioned without breaking a sweat.
