- Processor Model: Intel Core i7 14th Generation (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.)

Trouble Out of the Box
This laptop fit the specs and price range perfectly so I jumped on it. Trouble atarted immediately with the keyboard not working on boot up. This was a problem bevause i was unable to type in my key code to finish loading Windows. I figured I’d update BIOS and drivers. While updating drivers the computer got stuck in an unending loop. I tried a few options but ultimately decided to return it to Best Buy. I figured with this many issues right away, this thing was doomed. I trust the brand too, which is why this was so disappointing.
