Hey,My understanding is that the base speed is 1.33 Ghz with the ability to go to 1.86 Ghz (like a turbo) when needed. I think this is done to save or provide better battery life without affecting performance. My also displays 1.33 Ghz.Grim

I noticed that too when I ordered this PC last month, but figured if it was not the i7-3770S 3.1GHz that was described on the main product description page that I would leverage Amazon's great return policy. The PC I received was as advertised with the I-7. It is an outstanding PC - and my staff member is VERY pleased with the design and performance!

Eh, when I purchased a WPN824 from Amazon in April 09, I got a v2 instead of a v3. Didn't realize it at the time, but that means no QoS and no repeating. Very frustrated now, too late to return it, don't make the same mistake!

You can also upgrade the wireless to dual ac bands i did order intel ac wireless card once its done and working perfectly i will confirm with the intel wireless card type.////Update:Upgrading the wireless is must thing!!, Once i used the tablet to test the internet speed i didn't believe how slow it is I have 100mb line the speed test just gave me 10mb and after upgrading the wireless card to Intel AC 7260 card i got amazing lighting speed 100mb. The price for brand new Intel AC 7260 is less than 25$!.

it said something about upgrading it to win 8 for 15$ on acer's site. also, this isn't available on amazon and i dont think it will be for a long time so i am getting Acer Aspire V3-571G-6407 for similar to better performance and basically the same thing without in built mic.

Jessica,So glad you asked before buying this thing. The zeepad we got was total garbage. I got it for my nephew and it was almost unusable. The screen is unreadable, it pixelates like crazy, and the device itself feels shoddy. Thankfully, Amazon is awesome and I was able to easily return it for a refund that I put towards the purchase of a Kindle Fire (the 159 dollar ad supported one). Lesson learned as far as I am concerned. The Fire is an awesome device and nothing in the under 300 dollar tablet market comes close to it for performance and value. As for 10-inch tablets, my ASUS Transformer is amazing and I use it constantly. Either would do what you are looking for. Hope this helps. Jessica,So glad you asked before buying this thing.

I had played with one at CES, and then spent about twenty minutes going through everything on it at Frys Electronics (their demo unit) yesterday. I ran the windows experience index thing and it scored low obviously, but everything was still a tenth of a point above my current laptop which is no slouch. I run everything on my current laptop, including high graphics needs such as Rhino, Keyshot 2, Photoshop, Etc. with no problems. My point being this tablet is still just i tiny bit more powerful so it should run about anything you throw at it fairly decently. Enough to get the work done for sure

To clarify a bit more. It is an Intel i3-4130T (not just the 4130) there is a difference! The 4130 is a 3.4Ghz (NOT in this model). This model is installed with the 4130T clocked at 2.9Ghz ~ Amazon needs to clarify this in the description as well!

Whatever you buy be sure to select 'Intel' processor products NOT AMD..! I burned my hand by getting a A6 AMD (1450) even. Damn slow, even after adding 10GB memory does not help. I7 or I5 is the best even I3 ought to be ok. Yes, my 11.6 ultra is super light compared to my 16" or 17" laptop, but I cannot work long enough on 11.6" because of small screen view. I use Alt & '+' to increase the font size. I use glass to read. So 11.6" i will give to someone.

This tablet runs Windows 8, 8.1 PRO also. Do not consider a RT tablet. This tablet came with windows 8 and I entered my Win * PRO key and it downloaded the additional software that comes with the PRO version and upgraded the tablet. It is now running 8.1 PRO. When Microsoft upgraded it to 8.1 PRO. It did not install the new version of it's camera app because this was branded as a Lenovo. Microsoft has a different version of downloads for non Surface tablets, those bastards. Lenovo mentioned that they were working on it. The new version of the camera softawre has the "panorama" feature. I like the tablet. This tablet runs Windows 8, 8.1 PRO also. Do not consider a RT tablet.

I bought the same 15.4 2.4GHz laptop in June right in between the rebates were offered. I called Amazon and complained about the rebates being removed while I placed the order but re-appeared the next day. The refunded my credit card asap, much nicer then having to wait for the darn mail-in rebate to arrive. Thanks!

Mine is an Intel Pentium D 2.8 ghz but also was advertised as a 3.0 ghz, the other thing with mine was it was advertised as having a 120 gb hard drive and came with an 80 gb hard drive. That was fine with me and it works great.

Hi Seth. I red some bad reviews about this computer too.But these are not about reviewed this computer. More like sellers. I guess I got lucky. Mine is all fine as I wrote my review about this computer. This computer is hard working machine! !

AMD Rated it at 3.10 GHz to 4.00 GHz Max Turbo. Some People push it to 4.20 but it is not recomended. The new 8320 is rated 3.5 GHz and the new 8350 is 4.0 Ghz at normal speed. Seems there is a problem with the 35nm Process exceeding 4.2 GHz stabily. {Info from AMD News Flash from AMD} I have one running at 4.0 GHz with a Corsair CWC-H100 Water Cooler.

Stay away from this product. For the first time I was fooled at buying something from amazon. I actually bought it for a friend and gave it to him only after a month and we ended up seeing only 1.7GHz. We intially thought we would get a 2.3GHz processor. So there is something wrong with this. It was more than a month after which I checked it so I could not return the product back to amazon.
