Buying used Vostro 1510 on Craigslist

Seller may not know much about computers. The 1510 comes with a WUXGA 1920x1200 display.

Does that mean it automatically has discrete graphics - the Nvidia 8400 GPU, or can integrated graphics power that high a resolution?

Also, for confirmation, seller says the CPU is T5670. Is that really the T7100?


Thanks

 

It can be integrated or discrete. The T5670 is basically the same as the T7100, but they are nominally two distinct parts.

 

Thanks. What does "nominally two distinct parts" mean?

The seller is letting it go for $80. Is that a good price?

 

That means that there is a CPU called the T5670 and there is a CPU called the T7100 even though the specs are identical. T5670 is nominally a different part.

$80 is a good price, but I would be wary if it has the Nvidia GPU. The 8-Series stuff is known to be defective.
