A:AnswerNo, the system will use the RAM for general use, including graphics processing, but there is no way to dedicate the RAM for a specific task like graphics processing.
A:AnswerWe recommend you check with the game software publisher first for their compatibility with Windows 10 Home 64-bit and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements to run their software, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration. This system does have a web cam and will be able to use Skype.
A:AnswerIt has a two battery cell mainly due to the thin form factor of this laptop. The new Kaby Lake 7200u CPU is also extremely efficient and uses only 15 Watts of power under normal load conditions. Battery life is estimated to be between 4 to 5 hours, depending on the specific usage. Watching YouTube videos and playing games will eat up the battery power much faster than just casual internet surfing. Had Lenovo chose to use a 4, 5 or 6 cell battery, the thickness of the laptop and the price would have increased. For just $400, I'm not going to complain ;-)
A:AnswerThe "KB" processor refers to Intel's newest 7th generation processor family known as Kaby Lake. The previous sixth generation processor family is known as Sky Lake. The processor in this particular laptop is the Intel 7200U, a dual core CPU with hyperthreading that allows for up to 4 command threads to be processed per clock cycle; two physical cores, and two virtual cores (hyperthreaded). The 3MB of cache on the 7200U is also the fastest and most efficient yet that Intel has developed to better harness the new Kaby Lake architecture. The "U" stands for ultra efficient power usage, which means it has the best performance and the best power management by having a Thermal Design Power (TDP) rating of only 15 watts! That efficiency is what allows the 7200u to achieve 4-5 hours of battery life with just a two cell lithium-ion battery. The integrated graphics processor within the 7200U is known as the Intel 620 and is the newest integrated graphics processor (IGP) by Intel and is capable of full 4K @ 60Hz playback of videos and even video games, though I will warn you that the 620 is definitely not capable of rendering 3D games at playable frame rates at 4K resolutions, so the main reason to have it would be if you intend to hook the laptop up to a 4K UHD TV and play back 4K movies you filmed on your smart phone. Since almost all 4K UHD TVs have the 'smart' functionality, there isn't as much need to have 4K playback capability on this type of low end laptop. There are gaming laptops that are capable of rendering games at 4K with no issues, but those are way more expensive. Since the native resolution of the laptop screen is only 1366 x 768 (HD), the only way to output 4K resolution on this laptop is through the use of the HDMI port. Also, note that the Intel 620 IGP requires the sharing of the main system memory, so keep that in mind when you are multitasking using several different programs and watching videos ;-)
A:AnswerThis model does not have a discrete graphics card. It has integrated graphics processing within the 7th generation Intel Core I-5-7200U processor. It is the Intel® HD Graphics 620 version.
A:AnswerThis system comes with a Signature Edition of Windows 10 so the only installed software is:
Windows 10 Signature Image
Microsoft Office 365 (30 Day Trial)
A:AnswerI looked at the specifications of the linked system it appears you bought, and it is listed as not having a touchscreen. My guess is there is a touchscreen option available and you didn't pick that model at purchase. When making purchases ignore the marketing mumbo jumbo and jump straight to the specs sheet to see which machine you're buying
A:AnswerThis model configuration does have a built in CD/DVD drive. The pictures of this system configuration are correct, the note is incorrect. I am not showing this model in a 13.3 or 14 inch configuration for Holiday 2016.
