Performance

At the heart of a 13.3-inch laptop has an Intel Core i5-2410M processor. This is a mid-level processor I have the latest generation of Core processors, based on Sandy Bridge architecture. I5-2410M is a dual-core speed 2.3 GHz per core model. Thank you for hyperthreading processor can handle four threads simultaneously. If more power is needed at a particular time, the system can dynamically overclock the system.

Depending upon demand, or both cores can be overclocked to 2.6 GHz, or one of the core can be overclocked 2.9 GHz so you can give a new impulse to the processor performance, although this will only happen if the processor is pretty cool. With a TDP of 35 watts the processor is very frugal, and not have too much to develop the cooling system, which is certainly the front 13.3-inch laptop.

The processor includes an integrated graphics card, which is of great benefit to the system. Allows the laptop to do without a dedicated graphics card, which would be used in a lot of extra energy. Unit is Intel integrated graphics HD 3000 Graphics Compared to previous models, HD 3000 Graphics has integrated graphics power, is now on the same level as the entry-level Nvidia GeForce 310M.

This usually means you can play some older games without problems, and even some of the newer games (eg, StarCraft 2). However, one must accept some sacrifices quality and accuracy of modern games. Integrated graphics cards are designed mainly for basic functions such as working on office documents, surfing the Internet, or video, not games.

Especially with a laptop as Toshiba R830, you can assume it will focus on the company and to the Office of things instead of games.
