What is it with all the Dual Core hating ?
Seriously, why does everybody want QuadCores ? They eat more power and result in less battery life, which i find more important than some cpu power on a laptop.
Modern DualCores are still plenty powerful, most Software isnt even using DualCores properly, let alone Quad Cores. If you do stuff that really requires Quad Cores (like Rendering, Video Editing, Gaming) you shouldnt do that stuff on a Laptop in the first place... Get the right tools for the job, a Laptop should not be your Desktop replacement.
Seems like some people just want the latest and greatest without any valid reason going for it.
Yeah, all the rubbish Windows Laptop got QuadCores by now, but they also run out of battery juice after 3 hours max..I dont want that!
