No one appreciates forward thinking more than I do, but consider that this model already sports a dual-core processor. It also has nearly 4 Gb of RAM (enough for one of the two 64-bit cores) and a relatively small screen. My point is this: for $300.00 it is an outstanding value. I use my quad-core machine with 16 Gb (RAM) desktop to do the heavy processing in my life - this machine is perfect for the periphery work that I do whenever I'm not at home. Can the processor be upgraded? Perhaps - but with much difficulty. And yes it is soldered in but that isn't the main issue here. Quad core, Hex core, and everything on up would require a RAM upgrade to utilize those processors effectively - otherwise one may be throwing $$$s and time out of the window when it may be more cost and time efficient to simply buy a more powerful netbook, laptop, etc. with the power-user features already baked in. I hope this helps.

I bought mine refurbished from Craving Savings. It came with an Intel Pentium dual core processor.

I think Amazon updated one or the other. It is in fact Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor.

They already have the new 9.7 incher on Best Buy with 3.2, I believe, and dual-core processors... Search Le Pan II

The same model can have different processors. If it doesn't clearly specify a duo core; then I wouldn't trust it as so.

Did you compare the specs closely? You get an i7 Processor running at 2.9GHz and Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz, along with an extra 250GB HD and 4GB RAM. I definitely pay $300 extra for those things.

This version has the I7 chip. There are other versions of the same model that are about $300 less that have the i5 chip in them.

Anyone know if there's any plans afoot-- or even rumors-- about a new generation of minis that might use Core i5?

Unless you pick it out at a retail store such as the Microsoft Store or Best Buy, you cannot be guaranteed the new CPU. However, in reality, there is no perceptible difference between the CPUs except on some arcane benchmarks. Real world use will show no difference. But I respect your desire for the "latest and greatest" and applaud you for asking this intelligent question.

The motherboard does NOT come with a CPU. If you go to the Gigabyte Website for this model, there is a link to a list of Intel CPU's that are supported. For me I used the I7-3550 3GHz Quad Core. Hope this helps.
