- Processor Model: Intel Pentium (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.)

- Total Storage Capacity: 500 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 4 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.)

- Processor Model Number: N5000
- Storage
- Storage Type: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 500 gigabytes
- Hard Drive Capacity: 500 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 Interface: SATA (Connects the hard drive to the host system for transferring data between the hard disk cache and system memory. IDE and SATA interfaces are primarily used for personal computing, while larger servers and workstations typically use SAS or SCSI.)
- 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.)
- Hard Drive Accelerator: None (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
- Memory
- System Memory (RAM): 4 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.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): DDR4 SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- System Memory RAM Speed: 2400 megahertz (How fast the information-storing hardware operates. The faster the RAM, the faster memory can be transferred to other system components. Ultimately, faster RAM improves operational efficiency.)
- Number of Memory Sticks Included: 4
- System Memory RAM Expandable To: 8 gigabytes (Adding more random-access memory (RAM) to a computer speeds up performance and improves efficiency. Upgrades to memory are limited by the number of expansion slots for additional RAM and existing RAM installed on the device.)
- Compatibility
- Operating System: Windows 10 Home (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
- Operating System Architecture: 64-bit (An operating system (OS) manages computer hardware, software resources, and programs in conjunction with the system's processor. 64-bit operating systems can handle more data at once than 32-bit systems, resulting in faster speeds, more effiency, and overall improved performance.)
- Connectivity
- Headphone Jack: true (The device features an interface that allows for the connection of headphones.)
- Ethernet Card: 10/100/1000 (Also known as an Ethernet adapter, this card plugs into a computer's motherboard and enables it to access an Ethernet network. Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)

Q: Would this laptop be good for a college student?
A: This laptop should be fine for most college students. You can write papers (with word processing software), take notes (with note taking software), do presentations (with presentation software), work with spreadsheets (with spreadsheet software), receive and send email, and do internet research (with its built-in wi-fi networking). Software for the aforementioned purposes is available in the "Cloud," as well as commercially available, and often available free for download from internet websites. The CPU, while "entry level", is more than adequate for the above uses, and the 500 gigabyte hard disk drive provides significant storage capacity, plus, "Cloud" storage is available. This laptop has a built-in DVD/CD player, for loading programs from DVDs or CDs, although most software now is available for download to the laptop's hard disk drive from websites on the internet. And, BestBuy's price for this laptop is quite reasonable considering the laptop's capabilities. Hope this helps!
A: There is a CD/DVD-RW drive built in to this model.
Q: can I play xbox games on the windows 10
A: Yes, Windows 10 has that capability.
A: This model ships with a 500GB standard hard drive. There will be software loaded on this computer at the factory, like Windows 10 Operating System. There will be approximately 350GB of usable space for the user. A 350GB external hard drive will hold just over 700 full-length movies before it's full. Or a 350GB hard drive could fit more than 100,000 songs/photos (at 3000KB per song/photo).
Q: Would this one be good for YouTube and Netflix ?
A: It's a nice, clean laptop. I actually acquired it for a business purpose so it's great for internet and your basic office-type functions. I won't say it's the best thing for streaming--especially wireless--and you would be better off with a wired connection to the internet which is available on this computer. If you're trying basic HD films or Youtube regular, you should be fine. 4K streams on my home computer with a more massive video card stutter and I have to switch down to regular HD myself. It's more about the speed of your Internet service provider these days than the computer itself usually. You could pick up one of the $1000+ laptops with beefier video cards for gaming and/or video but I'm sure price point was a factor in your looking at this one [Lenovo is a Chinese company who acquired the personal computing line from IBM when IBM decided to stick with business computing focus. I own a Lenovo Desktop purchased from Best Buy I turned into a multimedia server which has been running without issue for about 5 years now. It's a respectable company.]
A: No, this model does not have a touchscreen.
Q: Are the fan vents to cool on the bottom or the side of the laptop?
A: On the bottom.
Q: does this overheat, since fan is on bottom?
A: My longest session so far has been 9 hours with the unit in a hard surface. There were no overheating issues as the feet raise it off if the surface enough to facilitate air flow. Enjoy
