Sufficient processing power for multi-tasking, internet, music, movies, productivity(Word, Spreadsheets, etc), advanced photo and video editing, 3D graphics, virtualization software(parallels), file and harddrive encryption Large amount of memory sufficient for memory intensive applications Uses conventional harddrive. Higer power consumption, lower shock resistance and longer startup time compared to solid state drive(SSD). Medium GPU allows playing most demanding games, but only at low detail settings and resolution, and less demanding games (WoW, Sims3, etc) at high settings and resolution GPU is not suitable for latest, demanding games (Assassin's creed, Black Ops 2, etc) at high or medium detail settings and resolution 14" screen suitable for portability; not ideal as desktop replacement or gaming No built-in CD/DVD drive; Reduces weight but watching movies or installing software from CD/DVD will require separate purchase of optical drive Integrated webcam for video chatting Processing power might not be sufficient for ultra high requirements such as running simulations |
