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

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.

I received the 1.1 ghz, I can't say past that. So far it's met my needs. This is not a powerhouse laptop by any means, but I'm satisfied with it.

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.

I used this CPU to replace my Pentium D 2.8GHz CPU. My desktop boots faster roughly by about 15 seconds. Also overall its is more responsive. Though its not earth shattering but that was a welcome change to this older desktop. Is it fast? Not very fast but I am happy with this cheap upgrade. Also it depends on which processor you are comparing to.

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

Must be a screw up by Amazon. I received my Lenovo Y580 a week ago and I can confirm it is 2.4Ghz.

Juan, when you're looking at CPU's, before making any decision think about what are your main uses for a tablet or any other computerized device. A cpu clocked at 1.2Ghz but with 4 cores would be better at multitasking compared to a 1.6Ghz dual core (2 cores) if you do lots of school work, or browse trough many applications at once, or even edit pictures and video then get a CPU with the most cores as possible. higher clockspeeds until now are good for gaming and loading times. Make your decision based on your needs, you can always do more research on your own. Good luck :)

1.6 GHz Its slow, I mean really slow. Also have had issued with WiFi Card and speed.

There is nothing wrong with the unit. It is brand new. I had one person complain about the the processor speed said it mentioned 2.8ghz the processorbis 1.7 but operates at 2.8 through turbo boost. basically it goes up to that speed when you're using the computer in a way that in demands that type of processing speed from it not at all times. Aside from that the other 20 customers have not complained about anything on the units.

Christian is correct. I believe only a single core switches to a higher clock speed under heavy load. You don't need to do anything at all and all switching is done automatically. You shouldn't notice anything different except a little more battery drain when it ramps up to 2.8 GHz.

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.

I looked on the properties and yes the prcessor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2,40 GHz not 3,2 GHz as you say it shows in amazon. The laptop works pretty fast and it doesn't overheat easily.

Thanks for the news. One more thing, is it just me or is my computer running slower with my 2gb 667 ram as opposed to the 1gb 800 ram? It seems like it is.Thanks again.

For engineering applications I should think not much performance difference. Gaming is where it will shine (2GB). My son played Bioshock without nary a hiccup! Very smooth and impressive for a laptop and he has the 1GB. Hope that helps.

It is better, unless you specifically need to overclock. I get the feeling that the added threads are more useful than a couple ghz, but it depends on what you want to do, and how much price matters to you.

Thanks for the response...the first 2GB i received from Amazon actually seemed to slow DOWN my netbook...esp noticeable after i replaced it with the 1GB to see if the hanging shutdown would go away (which it did)...so my question to you is...do you notice ANY enhanced performance from the 800 mHz 2GB install?

the computer is super fast plus the battery lasts pretty and I use AutoCAD and has given me no problems for me if it goes up to 3.1GHz processor speed as they are not made &#8203;&#8203;me slow and steady as if nothing
