Built for the Power User
The RF711-S01 has a state-of-the-art Intel Core i5 processor which has Turbo Boost and Hyper Threading Technology, along with a 500GB hard drive for speed and power. Hyper Threading uses the processor resources more efficiently, enabling multiple threads to run on each core. This produces better graphics and allows you to run demanding applications, simultaneously. While Turbo Boost greatly increases the speed of one or both cores, allowing you to get more done, faster.

You can get the most out of the latest state-of-the-art 3D computer games and action-packed high definition movies.
