QuestionCan someone explain the Hybrid Solid State Drive; is it more reliable than standard hard drives?
Asked 9 years ago by MARC.
- Answer This laptop does not have a ssd or solid state drive. They are more reliable and more expensive. There are no moving parts like a traditional disk hard drive. If you were to drop a laptop with a ssd the drive would not get damaged and lose what you store unlike a disk hard drive. A ssd is basically like a huge memory card.

QuestionIs it "Pavilion" that is somewhat antiquated, or is the term Pentium that I am confusing?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Good question. Pavilion is the model name for the HP laptop. Pentium is the Intel processor in the computer. The processor is the brain of the computer. Neither term is antiquated. The Pentium processor gets updated just like the other processors made by Intel. It is important to know how much computer power you need when you choose a processor. This computer comes with a processor that is a step up from the Pentium processor (Intel Core i3). I hope this helps.
