Q: What is the advantage of the i5 core over the i3 core?
A: i3 - great single core performance, decent multitasking, excellent for budget gaming i5 - About the same single core performance as i3(in some cases worse, in some cases better), much better at multitasking, video rendering, and high end gaming(with the best video cards available)
A: I tested the demo model at the local Best Buy. It has good volume and decent fidelity for use at a computer desk or in a small office, MUCH better than a standard internal PC or monitor speakers. A little weak on the bass but that wasn't surprising. It has good volume and decent fidelity best for listening to background music, talk radio, or watching casual TV & Youtube type stuff. It would be very good for making Skype-type voice or video calls or for a digital assistant like Cortana. If you are into hi-fidelity music, action movies, or action games, you would probably want external speakers with a subwoofer. If you were in a larger living room or family room and using it for Netflix etc., you would definitely want an external speaker system or sound bar.
A: I believe this boils down to an analogy of work performed and not just speed. Because the dual core processors can simultaneous work together, even though their slower individually, their processing say 1.5 to 2 times the information. So l look at the total processes performed and see that in essence the slower dual processors working in tandem are performing the work equivalent to a single 3.3 to 4.4 Ghz. And that leads to the reason why they invented Quad-core chips. Many "robots" working together in synchrony to move many more processes faster. And if you harnessed the power of many chips performing in this way you'd have a "Super Computer", which is essentially the way they operate, at least on simple terms.
Q: Is 1tb hard drive + 128 SSD Is this two saperate hard drive ?
A: yes it is 128GB SSD for the OS and 1TB for Data
Q: Can I use a tv that has hdmi on it
A: Yes, this can be used on a TV with HDMI.
A: The HP Pavilion Wave Desktop can be upgraded to 16GB of RAM.
A: Yes, you could do that.
Q: Is the operating system 32 or 64 bit?
A: Per HP this is a 64 bit version of Windows 10 Home. They claim nothing they currently offer is 32 bit
