- Processor Model: Intel 8th 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.)

Product Manuals
Q: Does this laptop have a DVD/CD-ROM drive as well ??
A: Yes, this model has a DVD-RW.
A: Thank you for your question! This computer has up to a 3.4ghz processor. The lower frequency is simply its resting rate. Much like your heart, a computer is most efficient by only operating at the speed it needs to make things get done. This means less energy is used and thus a better battery life. When the computer needs to take advantage of more speed it easily will reach the 3.4ghz it is capable of.
Q: Does this unit have Windows 10 loaded already? Can the memory be upgraded by user?
A: Yes, this PC has Windows 10.
A: Thank you for your question! This computer does have two ram slots and you are able to swap the HDD with an SSD if you like! This model uses DDR4 laptop ram.
Q: Can I burn music cd on this?
A: Yes, you can burn a music CD in this laptop.
Q: Is this battery removable? Can it be replaced?
A: Thank you for your question! The battery in this model can be removed and replaced!
A: Yes it does have one Becky
A: Yes, this generation of Intel is still vulnerable to those issues - but... At this point I've upgraded two 5th, four 6th, and an 8th Generation processor to the patch for Specter and Meltdown. I benchmarked them all again after the patches. Only one showed any slowdown and it was <3% (a MacBook Pro oddly enough). Four of them actually benchmarked slightly better (probably due to regular microcode improvements that Intel pushes out). The Gen 9 and Gen 10 processors are supposed to have hardware fixes for the vulnerabilities but they are as much as a year out right now. If you need a new PC now don't worry about it. Just do the regular updates. Besides, 70% of security failures are social engineering attacks anyway (human error in being conned into opening malicious files). Your best security is your own brain and good sense. FYI - AMD has it's own - similar - vulnerability issues as well.
