The CPU cache memory is the place where the CPU stores (buffers) the data intended for processing for a short time. The volume of the cache memory is important in determining the high-speed operation of the CPU and, thus, the overall high-speed operation of the computer itself. Bigger volume of cache memory means higher-speed operation.

RAM is a short-term data storage. This component determining the operation speed:

• allows the CPU of your computer to have fast access to the information that needs to be processed used by the computer application which you have opened;
• at the moment of opening an application stores it in its microchips, thus the memory capacity determines how many applications can be run by your computer simultaneously and also with how big data volume (pictures, texts, webpages) you can operate at once.

Thanks to the dense placement of chipsets the RAM of a portable computer has the same characteristics as the RAM of desktop computers. TopPC.ee recommends to use 3Gb or higher capacity RAM for general use.

This criterion determines the type of the RAM used by the computer,m and this is useful if you want to buy an additional memory module when you buy the computer or upgrade the existing RAM capacity in future.

The newest type of memory is DDR3. DDR2 represents an older generation accordingly.

Maximum RAM is the indicator of the upgrading possibilities of the portable computer determining how many Mb of RAM are supported by * this model of the portable computer.

*The possibilities of upgrading the RAM depend on the number of available free memory slots and on the amount of Mb memory in the basic configuration of the computer.

The price of the OEM license is much lower than the standard Retail license price that you have to pay if you want to buy software after you have bought the computer.

currently almost all the portable computers are equipped with the full-size keyboard (with a separate number pad). Function keys have to be located in a rational way, so that it is not necessary to get used to them by searching for them in unusual corners of the keyboard.

Trackpoint is a small-size cursor-lever placed directly in the middle of the keyboard keys. It can be very handy because it is not necessary to take your hands off the keyboard as it is in case of a touch pad. This function is characteristics of many Lenovo ThinkPad series portable computers.
