Performance
Intel Core 2 Duo T9550, which goes to work with a frequency of 2.66 GHz, one can not complain about the performance. Helping out are a total of four GB RAM (2X 2048 MB, PC2-6400, DDR2 RAM) from Hyundai Electronics. The graphics accelerator employed in our tester is a Mobility Radeon HD 4650 with 1024 GDDR3 memory and Hyper Memory support.
The P300-212 is well equipped for both everyday use and for multimedia entertainment during breaks or in ones free time. Surfing the internet, writing emails, chatting and watching films from the hard drive or DVD present no problem for the machine. Only in the realm of gaming might the performance come up a bit short, which doesn't at all mean the P300-212's gaming abilities are wash.
