The laptop itself has a good processer that operates at a speed of 2.16ghz which is better than the 3231 model that operates at lower rate of 1.8ghz. These are great to fix up and keep as a good personal office notepad and information searcher. Parts can be a challenge to find but easy to install. The also have 2 USB ports, 1 HDMI port, and a DVD disc drive. The downside is that you only have 1 ddr3l ram card slot instead of 2. A good laptop to learn of specs and hardware installation from.
