Not just the low-end

Or is that low-end for you?

If processing power is a concern the i7's are nice.  Turbo mode for a
single cpu (for non-threaded programs) plus hyperthreading to give 8
cores.

I'm not exactly sure about a quad core i7 for a note book.

The i7 dual cores are great though power/performance wise.

"Now that Arrandale is upon us, we see the wait was worthwhile. The
two-chip platform architecture, heavy integration, and shift to 32nm
manufacturing means it’s now possible to get significantly better
performance from a dual-core, four-thread CPU at lower overall power
use than a comparably-equipped dual-core notebook based on Core 2."
