Lenovo 300s-08IHH Desktop: Accomplish tasks both large and small with this Lenovo IdeaCentre desktop computer. A small footprint saves desk space, and this unit delivers high-quality performance and functionality thanks to an Intel Core i5 processor, 16 GB of RAM and a 2TB hard drive. An 8GB SSD ensures fast start-up times for this Lenovo IdeaCentre desktop computer.
A: The new system has the latest operating system, 64-bit Windows 10. The new system has 16GB of RAM. The Core I-5 processor in the new system has an idle speed of 2.9GHz and a Turbo-Boost speed of 3.4GHz. Over all, in every instance, the new system is faster.
Q: What is the SATA + Solid State Drive?
A: This system has a hybrid drive. 2TB is a standard drive for your storage of files and programs (APPs). Then there is a 8GB solid state memory chip on the hard drive for the storage of the operating system only (the user can not access the drive). This gives the system very fast boot up and wake up from sleep.
Q: what does Hybrid Drive TB 2 mean?
A: This system has a hard drive that is in two parts: The 2TB storage part is a standard disk drive. This is where the user can store data files and programs. The other part is an 8GB solid state drive. It is not accessible by the user. It is where the operating system is stored. Because the solid state drive is faster than a standard drive this gives the system very fast boot up speeds and wake up speeds.
Q: Does the built in wifi connection have ac, or is it b/g/n?
A: The WiFi card in this system is AC compatible and backward compatible to b/g/n.
A: AMD A10 model has a discrete graphics card, the ATI Radeon R7 card. It only has 12GB of RAM. The 300s model has an Intel Core I-5 processor and 16GB of RAM. There is no discrete graphics card on the 300s system. The graphics are integrated on the processor. The A10 processor is slightly faster than the Core I-5 processor. The 300s has more RAM. Both are great deals. Both are December 2015 models. If you are playing games, the AMD A10 might be the better choice. Otherwise the two are very closely matched.
A: Did you make recovery disks, there is a Boot From Disk executable that is created when you create restore disks. If you don't have restore disks, try hitting the F2 key repeatedly at start up. The system should initiate Lenovo OneKey Recovery. It should boot to a screen that will allow you to restore to factory original settings. Finally, you can call Lenovo Tech Support at 877-453-6686.
A: The GPU you list does appear to be made for the slim line format of this system's box.
