This laptop uses the U version of the Core i5 Haswell processor, this might be slower than the M version but very capable, thanks to that it has great battery life and runs with less heat than the M version.
The display is touch capable ( now a day gimmicky) with a very standard 15.6 inch in size with the also usual 1366x768 pixels powered by the Intel HD 4400. Adequate for HD playback or light gaming.
Surprisingly being only 1 inch thick, it fits a DVD/CD RW drive, 4 USB Ports ( only 2 are 3.0) , HDMI Port and an Ethernet Jack.
