This system is powered by a 3.4 GHz Intel i3-4130 Dual-Core processor, allowing you to run multiple applications simultaneously. The built-in 4GB of PC3-12800 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM, which is expandable to 16GB, allows the computer to quickly access frequently-used files and programs.
For long-term storage of your files, a 1TB 7200 rpm SATA hard drive allows for quick access to your data.
