What’s Inside?
Well hidden inside you can find the second generation dual core Intel Core I5-480M processor normally running at 2.66 GHz. As all 2nd generations it supports TurboBoost and HyperThreading technology which makes it work like a quad core. It’s a 32 nm architecture on an Intel Express HM57 chipset. Comparing to the HM6x chipset series it is a bit slower and lower class, which is a downside for this powerful I5 and ATI HD5650, but the upside is that it doesn’t consume too much power, an important factore for the casual family user.
There is another pretty powerful component and that is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 with it’s 1GB DDR3 1066MHz on it, it’s a beast for a middle class laptop. It supports DirectX 11 quite well and it can play most of the recent DX11 games, but not on full details of course. Although it has the same performance as it’s predecessor Radeon 4670, the Radeon HD5650 has some advantages. With the new Avivo HD technology it can transfer audio of 8 channels through the HDMI port, and with Eyfinity it should support up to 6 monitors, but here this is not the case because it lacks the new DisplayPort. With only a HDMI and VGA display output it can power up only 2 monitors.
Got the n5010 i7 and love it, live it.

Hello Mirza for windows xp required some drivers like SARA
Required SATA Drivers
Hi Mirza download sata drivers for windows xp and when you will install windows xp by pen drive or by Disktte drive install it then u will able to do that
GO TO BIOS SETUP AND GO TO ADVANCED SETUP CHANGE ACHI TO ATA IN BIOS( SATA MODE)
How can I install Win XP on it???
TO ALL PEOPLES WHO WANTS WINXP!!
i own a dell N5010 i5 and i use win7 ultimate…
i tried to install winxp but then i realized that i have to change some system bios.
changing system bios can slow the computer and sometimes greatly affect the performance.
Also, because N5010 is a fairly new laptop, windows xp doesnt fully support its drivers since a while ago. I do know that the stock Windows 7 Home Premium has a laggy experience, but after i installed Windows 7 unlimited, its heaps better! i like windows 7 more then xp now ^^
U can get windows 7 unlimited for free (download a crack version,or get a clean version then crack it ur self!(thats what i did) then boot up the .iso on a usb and change the boot sequence to usb first..)
search up a full tut on google or youtube! btw there are ways to config WINDOWS 7 so it has a similar interface to windows xp. AND LASTLY, I REALLY ENJOY THIS COMPUTER…ITS USEFUL IN MANY WAYS. BUT HAS ANYONE TRIED THE HACKED OSX SNOW LEAPORD ON IT?? DOES ALL THE HARDWARE WORK PROPERLY ON OSX?? thx
nvm i figured it out and btw, if anyone wants to know how, u’ll need iboot+multibeast it works but first you must install with -x bootflag after installing use -x bootflag and after setup delete ati kexts in /system/library/extensions then you can boot without any flags. P.S after multibeast mouse may not work if it doesnt boot from cd and get the voodoo trackpad and install it then you can boot without boot flags from Harddrive.
that means u have to buy the retailed OSX as well…
The N5010 Is Beautiful. And Will Play Crysis 2 On Medium Graphics With Little Lag.

I think you should switch your laptop off and charge it for over 6 hours and then see the battery time. Make sure that the display brightness is low while its running on the battery.
