The quarter two of 2012 release dual core Intel i5-3320M vPro processor (3MB L3 cache and 4 threads with hyperthreading) runs at the speeds between 2.6GHz and 3.3GHz with the turbo boost function as needed by the more demanding tasks at hand. The overall performance level of the Intel i5-3320M is better than the previous version i5-2520M and is similar to the Intel i7-2640M processor.

The current Passmark benchmark score is 2629 and offers more than adequate, mid-range performance for your daily business and entertainment tasks. You can also work on the more demanding tasks as long as you don’t push it too hard and you can’t play the latest games at higher settings and resolutions and not work with the heavy multimedia editing stuff. Having said that the presence of a 256GB Solid State Drive will make things feel much snappier and is a good amount as a local storage space. 8GB memory is also not too bad and you shouldn’t really experience lagging or freezing when you have a few browser tabs open while a couple of apps running at the same time.

The keyboard is not backlit but the keys are comfortable to type.
