Even though most computer applications are still written with a single processor in mind, dual core systems became a hit because they allowed better multitasking. This has made dual core processors popular even for the budget market. Now the manufacturers have moved the higher end desktops to include quad core CPUs. Acer has managed to even put one of them in a budget oriented desktop. Find out in my review if this really provides much benefit to consumers.

About the software. Some would consider the lack of software a good thing. Not everyone would want most of the bloatware loaded onto computers these days.
