Hello sifus,

I have some newbie questions
1. What's difference between
2nd Generation Core™ i5-2410M Processor (3M Cache, 2.30 GHz)
and
Intel® Core i5-2410M 2.3GHz, Turbo Boost Up to 2.90GHz ( 3MB Intel® Smart Cache)

2. Turbo Boost Up to 2.9GHz means?

3. Significant difference between USB2.0 and 3.0.

4. 6cell 5200 mAH usually last long for how many hours? (lowest performance)
