Does this computer have a quad core processor as the i5-3450 implies or is it really a "dumbed down" dual core version as zcritic (N. Illinois) says

The 2 cores listed on the specs is most likely a typo. It is in fact a quad core i5.

Has the AMD Quad A10-5750M processor. 8192MB DDR3 SDRAM. The best way to check this laptop out is at Walmart. They were selling there for under $600 and you can use real feel of this laptop. Mine had problems after less than a month but, Amazon took care of repair right away. Make sure if you buy this from Amazon, use PRIME, do not buy from 3rd party seller. I made that mistake and learned my lesson.

It is listed as 2.4 ghz, and it's a quad processor. It's fast for a moderate priced laptop.

There is a single quad-core processor. This basically means 4 processors on a single chip so you can easily run multiple tasks at once and video and games will run smoothly.

I believe it is a Quad core... From what i saw 8) http://dealnews.com/Toshiba-Haswell-Core-i7-Quad-17-1080-p-Touch-Laptop-for-750-free-shipping/1066287.html then again i could be wrong but it has s75t-A150 so possibly.

This comes stocked with a duo-core processor but has the possiblities of being a quad or higher if you order off of the iBuyPower website. You can custom your setup on their website and get better customer service and a better product with more deals to make it cheaper and easy right out of the box. I'm actually responding on my version of this and it works like you wouldn't believe. Great product and great deals to be had.

It is a dual core with hyper threading according to it's spec sheet found here. So 2 cores but it handles 4 threads at a time like a quad core. http://ark.intel.com/products/52229/Intel-Core-i5-2520M-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz

More important question is what processor does this laptop have. Description is not accurate.

At least two. Could be four depending on the chip you purchased. If you will check the original shipping list that came with your machine, unless it says quad core. you only have two.

It is a Quad core and it handles everything just fine, even under fairly intense graphical processing. You might want to bump up the ram for hardcore gaming, but works just fine with little slowdown on anything but the most intense graphical processing.

That must be a mistake by description. i5 includes 4 CPUs, not Core Duo. The Lenovo ThinkPad T530 2359 is built with i5 (4 CPUs).

yes is a dual quad.....I do a lot of 3d work, and on running a render test found that it is not as fast as the I7 systems but its a deal for the money....if I had to do it over again getting this system I would go with a better processor....at least the 8350. If youre doing 3d then get a better processor for more muscle. It is made well, roomy inside with two fans and mesh on three sides. It is easy to replace the ram and indeed to change any component. If you should have any trouble with this when you get it email or phone these guys and they will make it good. The one they first sent wouldn't boot but they had another one to me in a week and haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps. yes is a dual quad.....I do a lot of 3d work, and on running a render test found that it is not as fast as the I7 systems but its a deal for the money....if I had to do it over again getting this system I would go with a better processor....at least the 8350.

Its a dual core processor, but you have to set that preference in the bios.

Neither; it doesn't have a hard drive nor the OS that would be on it and the Xeon in the other models is replaced with a Core i3 processor. You can always however replace the i3 at a later time when prices come down (and used processors come on the market) with a much more powerful Xeon processor.

Dxdiag says i5 cpu @ 2.80 Ghz quad core. No, its i5 on mine. It is cheap for a gaming laptop and you can always upgrade the CPU. Im satisfied with my purchase. Can handle most games at ultra settings.

Not being an expert all I can say is when I bought it I consulted an expert and he said as long as I am not doing film editing this computer will work for me. It is not a quad processor, but a dual. It is however, plenty fast for me.
