The dual core language is most likely from a tired intern who wrote up the add. It's the second generation Sandy bridge chip released in Q-4 of 2011 as you saw you look up the model number and there is only one chip that matches that model number new or refurbed it doesn't affect the cores.
Nice deal well done machine. The only negative is the graphics chip. The graphics chip actually so poor that it holds back the laptop.

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger but nervous about the refurbished angle since this will be my work computer and a crash would really suck. How much is the risk when buying refurbished vs new?
Blue-ray is such a waste of money. Everything now is online/cloud/Netflix... well until the stupid gov do stuff to shut it down. Reduce $200 by removing that Blue-ray and I might jump on this.
