Is It Worth It?:聽The latest聽聽has a lot to offer the mainstream buyer. For starters, it's been outfitted with Intel's latest Core i7-5500U 2.4GHz Broadwell dual-core processor. Joining the energy-saving CPU are 8GB of RAM, a 15.6" touchscreen 1080p LCD, and a 1TB hard drive. Although we saw it bundled with a free Dell tablet last month, this deal is still a serious contender for anyone in the market for a new notebook.
