Is there any reason to get a dual core processor instead of quad core?

I would not get a laptop unless you really need portability. Laptops are so much slower than desktops. Desktop computers also have a lot more options if you want an upgrade.

well ill be heading off to college soon, so im looking for a laptop to take with me. for a college student, a laptop is far more convenient than a desktop, hence why im looking at laptops...
