At 1.8ghz processor speed; is speed noticeable against a 2.5+ghz processor ( standard laptop speed)? Or is that comparing apples & oranges?

I returned the laptop because there is a button on the side that resets the laptop to "out of the box" state. This will remove all of your programs, data, files, etc. I called Lenovo and asked if there was a way to password protect this button that anybody can press...the answer was 'No'.

CPU clock speed is only one aspect of processor performance. If you are asking if the computer reacts quickly, it does and is noticeably better than a mid-level laptop. This is my first ultrabook, and using anything less now feels painfully slow. I often have a dozen or more Office documents open at a time along with other programs and the processor never gets hot or slows down.

Just to clarify, this processor is sometime listed as 1.5 and sometimes as 1.8. But, if I'm not mistaken, it's standard power is 1.5, but it has some turbo mode (I forget what it's called) that can get speeds up to 1.8. So it's just a matter of marketing how it gets listed.

Greetings, Please excuse the quality of the listing. Here is the disambiguation: Intel Atom D2550 @ 1.86GHz (Dual Core w/ Hyperthreading) Best regards, MITXPC

It is indeed 2.4 GHz. I bought one for my better half in August of 2013. Her only real issue was an initial delay while attempting to connect with our wireless. A little internet research solved the problem. I wish I could remember so I could tell you what the solution was. I *think* it had something to do with having drivers from two different vendors and eliminating one, maybe having to choose between Acer's vs the one from the wireless adapter's manufacturer. Sorry I can't recollect the correct solution. But again, to answer your question, 2.4 GHz is correct.

According to the computer properties screen, and the box, it is 3.5ghz. I think that was in my review of this product, too.

Well in reality there both good, but if you asked me id go with the i5 if I had the money, the i5 operates on 2.7ghz and the Intel Celeron well 1.9ghz. Right of the bat you can see the difference. Now if the money is not available for i5, I would not hesitate to take the Toshiba, its not that is slow or bad, its just there are better laptops out there. I hope this answered it.

It does appear that according to multiple places (including intel - http://intel.ly/NkDugp), it is indeed a 1.9ghz processor.

I don't think it was designed like a laptop where there is no fan speed at all until the processor reaches a certain temperature. Mine runs all the time as well, but quiet with no load, louder with a load. The fan speed change is immediate too which shows to me it is load driven, not temperature driven.

not sure ... I do happen to have an 8.1 laptop ... will attempt to test in a couple of days and see

Yes, it is 2.5Ghz. The Intel CPU used in the system is the G2020T. http://ark.intel.com/products/71069/intel-pentium-processor-g2020t-3m-cache-2_50-ghz

It is listed as 2.4 ghz, and it's a quad processor. It's fast for a moderate priced laptop.

The CPU is indeed the only difference. Everything else is identical, according to Lenovo spec sheet.

maybe a little smoother mufti-tasking, but not much on speed .I went from a 6 core to an 8 core didn't notice a big improvement

I had the exact same processor in my laptop (Lenovo Y 550) and this processor swapped out with it no problems. I believe its the same socket set for your computer as well.the only thing slowing my laptop down now is the hard drive.anything more than 4 gigs of ram and you're not really going to see a noticeable difference in performance.this processor however have to use what do you definitely see a huge bump in speed. opening and closing windows will be smooth if you're playing games you're looking at a much higher setting on your graphics and it handles programs like Dragon speak and word without any effort. I hope this helps.

I haven't notice any slowness in the processor and i had the computer for 3 months now. i suppose it depends on what processes and programs are being run that might affect processor speed. check to make sure you don't have too many programs running simultaneously.

I had this same question when I was buying this laptop. After much research I found out that turbo core is a technology that increases the speed of the processor when needed. So for example, In this case, when the processor is using 100% of its 1.9 GHz speed turbo core kicks in and raises its speed to 2.8 GHz until it only 1.9 GHz speed is needed again. Honestly, I don't get why AMD just labeled this processor as a 2.8 GHz quad-core and left it at that without adding the concept of "turbo core".

I have not experienced any issues with slowness on this laptop. Mine is extremely fast.
