Will these be up-gradable in the future to a quad core? This processor is more of a business grade, than a gaming processor. I replaced my old Alienware 17 I purchased years ago to the 13 hoping for increased/better gaming experience, however, I haven't seen an improvement. Games that require CPU power are not good at all. My old laptop was quad core with a I7-3740QM chip, but the nVidia card was older and slower, which is one of the reasons I upgraded. Now I am not so sure it was such a great idea.
If the processor in the Alienware 13 can be upgraded to a quad core in the future, then I am fine with it as it will help.
Thanks
Mike
