The answer might be obvious in the hardware, but I don't get it. I thought this computer was pretty decent until I ran a benchmark test on it and it came back with surprisingly low marks on everything. I was only curious because it the browsing seems considerably slower than my desktop with a quad-core i5 2300.
It's a Toshiba C55-C5240. Here are the specs: http://support.toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?contentId=4007428&isFromTOCLink=false
In a nutshell, it's a dual-core i5-5200U 2.2Ghz processor with 8GB RAM.

Does it make that huge a difference just from dual-core to quad-core? I thought because the processor was newer even though its the same level at i5 that it would be somewhat improved.
