Inside the L520 is a brand new Intel Core i5-2540M processor running at 2.6GHz. It's seriously fast and only the Core i7s of Samsung's RF711 and Apple's MacBook Pro are noticeably quicker. Essentially, it's capable of running pretty much anything you can throw at it.
The L520 isn't designed for playing games, though. It relies on the Core i5's integrated graphics chip, which is capable of decoding HD video but not running the latest games. In any case, the 15.6in screen has a matt finish to cut down on glare from overhead lighting - perfect for office environments, but not as impressive when watching a movie with the lights down.
