That's what it was, thanks. So if Intel will likely be launching the Haswell chips in June, I'm wondering when laptops with the new CPUs and GPUs will be hitting the market if anyone cares to venture their opinion.
Nvidia launched the bottom half of their GeForce 700 Series at the beginning of April (with the top half in May, it looks like) but I've yet to see any laptops sporting the new GPUs, so there must be some delay between chip launch and laptops for sale. Unless laptop makers are just sitting on their hands until the Haswell chips come out.
If I can expect new laptops shortly after Intel's launch then I can wait but if I have to wait until August then I'd buy something now.
