Intel Core i5
With an Intel Core i5 processor, you'll easily handle day-to-day tasks like word processing, image editing, web browsing and casual gaming.

The i5-10210U processor in this model features 6MB of cache and 4 cores that can adjust their speed depending on the complexity of the task they are working on, from 1.60GHz to 4.20GHz.

What is RAM?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is different to the permanent storage provided by hard disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD) or memory cards in your equipment. RAM is used by your device to temporarily store data to carry out everyday operations. The more RAM your machine has, the faster you can expect it to open and run programs.

A solid performer
Featuring 8GB of RAM, this computer has enough power for casual tasks like web browsing and word processing as well as more demanding jobs like complex spread sheets and image manipulation. You'll be able to run a healthy number of windows at once without any obvious lag or slowdown.

Solid State Drive
Solid State Drives (SSD) give you the capacity to store your documents and media, while ensuring quicker and reliable access to your files and programs. SSDs are far faster than regular hard drives and ingeniously, they don't use moving parts to work, which makes them far more dependable and also quieter.

Intel HD Graphics
The Intel HD graphics processing unit (GPU) will enable you to enjoy a number of classic older games, along with some casual (web-based) gaming. You may be able to run more modern titles with reduced effects and frame rates.

Great entertainment
With its crisp 14”, Full HD screen, viewing your high-resolution photos, films and videos will be a pleasure. It has been designed to convey stunning, immersive images and it makes for a great gaming and multimedia experience.

Handy features
There’s no need to hunt for the power button thanks to the helpful lid-open sensor – just open the device to switch on, even when the laptop’s completely off, whilst the lift-hinge raises the device slightly off the table when open; allowing for improved air circulation.

Connecting your other devices
The USB ports allow for fast data transfer, whilst the SD card slot offers a convenient way to upload your photos and videos. Additionally, Bluetooth can help to send data wirelessly between devices.
