The CPUs sport the old Intel HD 4000-series integrated GPUs, incapable of playing the latest game titles which require 3D rendering at reasonable frame rates. They enable Windows 8 and apps operation with no hassle, as long as you don’t do anything too complicated like high-resolution video editing or large file conversions. Both CPUs have very similar performance, with 3,064 and 3,307 PassMark benchmark points, respectively. After a research, we have narrowed our prediction to the Intel Core i3-3110M and i3-3120M, because these are the only i3 chips available in the C55-series at the time of this writing. It is not known which particular Intel i3 processor the system includes. Besides the laptop, for the price you get a mouse, sleeve case, anti-virus software, and a USB memory stick. The only non-typical feature of the cheap Windows 8 notebook PC is the supplied HDD being larger than the average 500GB. The C55-A5308 is a typical 15.6-inch budget configuration with a 720p screen resolution which is still an acceptable resolution for entry-level laptops, the lower-to-mid-end Intel Core i3 processor, ordinary-sized 4GB of RAM, a generous 7500GB hard drive, and a DVD writer. The Toshiba C55-A5308 Laptop Essentials Bundle will be one of the 2013 Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals lineup at Best Buy.
