The CPU, meanwhile, is a 4-core/8-thread Coffee Lake processor with a 2.4GHz base clock and 4.1GHz max turbo clock. It's not the most muscular CPU on the planet, but a reasonable choice for a $799 laptop (I wouldn't pay the full asking price for this combo).
Other parts and features include 16GB of DDR4 RAM (can be upgraded to 32GB), 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD for storage chores, the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless connectivity standard, and a four-zone RGB backlit keyboard (the WASD keys are highlighted). Overall, a good collection of parts for the asking price.
