Intel Pentium D 840 3.2 GHz Processor
This was an Intel Processor. What more can really be said than it worked as it is supposed to and is exactly as Intel says it is. I saw no need to get a processor like a core 2 duo if all I am going to do is run 32 bit software.
The Pentium dual core does all the job it needs to do to make my software run as it should and I also appreciate the fact that the intel processors do not have such heat type fragile issues as AMD; at least as far as I know.
I have a laptop sporting a core 2 duo but only runs 2ghz. This thing (the D840) is far faster and when running a system such as Ubuntu it will do all you ever need.

bigger capacity
I pleased to have a longer time between charges now with the increased capacity.

very good player
1 of 2 found this helpful I read some of the reviews for this player and my main issue was its ability to be able to play my disks I have burned using nero which were mainly several movies in avi format. I have had issues in the past with some players (not blue ray) which could not handle playing those movies because of issues with codecs. | bought this unit because it said it could update firmware and codecs and it lived up to its specs because the first thing it did was to do a software update as soon as I got it connected to the internet. There is some difficulty there in getting it to use the wireless but no more than hooking up a wireless printer.
After it got on line and updated to the latest firmware I tested it on my dvds and it had no problem reading them and playing them, I am sure in some cases it upconverts the video to a better resolution. I am using a Sanyo 42" tv which I bought only a couple of weeks before buying the player.
My only issue was using the player to read and play videos off my computer. It is a long process to get the software to make a playlist or whatever it calls it so the player can access the movies. It took several tries to make it work right and since I had a large directory of items I wanted to show on the tv, it took several hours for it to make up the list. After that, most of the videos I had wanted to play did work. Some were not available to play and I am not sure why, but it is probably the format used to make them etc.
It is not as easy to use that feature but in using it as a normal use as a player I do not find any shortcomings yet. I have not watched a blueray disk on it yet but find it does a great job with my older dvds.
