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.
Featuring 4GB of RAM, this computer has enough power for tasks like web browsing and word processing. You'll be able to run a couple 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.
AMD Radeon graphics
AMD’s Radeon graphics 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.
Fun entertainment
This device has been designed to provide fair images and with stereo speakers, will provide an enjoyable casual gaming and multimedia experience.
