| Overall, I find the CPU resources sufficient for multitasking. Gaming is possible with the discrete graphics adapter. The hard drive capacity is ample for storing files. 8 GB of RAM is adequate but more would be nice. There are enough USB ports for connectivity. The picture quality on the IPS display is excellent. | ||
