Yeah i5, 64bit. Check the website.

They are good with warranty, if I recall their courier collects it if
there is a fault reported and they replace it FOC if it's really a fault
and not an OS problem.

Oh they also have an extended warranty which we sometimes use cos we buy
quite a few tpads for our clients.
