News on Haswell based mobile Precision M6800 ?

Does anyone know if the new 4800/6800 will be shipping with the newer C2 stepping of the Intel Haswell chipset? I can't seem to find anyone in Dell that knows the answer. The earlier C1 stepping has a minor hardware flaw that Intel does not plan to replace. If you have the C1 stepping, your just have to live with the USB 3.0 bug.

 

The i7 4800mq in Latitude E6450 is C3 stepping. So by that, following m4800/6800 should be having C3 too.

Edit: Sorry about that, just realized its C0 and the bug is on the chipset not the processor. How can I delete a post ?

 

It's been 2 weeks, any updates?

 

Sep 12 seems to be the date

 

It still boggles my mind trying to figure out the weird logic that caused the EU to use stops to replace the comma in numbers larger than 999, and to replace the decimal point with a comma!

Now looking at this document it is clear this issue has been debated for several hundred years!:

I think the Americans had the right logic and I am glad that Australia and New Zealand followed suit. Although, that is where any kind of similarities stop, haha.

 

Thanks, Aikimox. Do you have a reference for that date?

 

The EU? They have not "replaced" anything. This convention has been the standard in almost the entire civilized world for centuries, long before anything like the EU, or the USA for that matter, existed. I think it's the Brits that, in the splendid isolation of their island, were the only ones that had to go their own way.

 

The release date was supposed to be Aug 30 but they have moved it up and told no one what the official date is.

 

Windows 8.1 release date??

 

A good as guess as any I can think of. My DELL rep is being unusually mum... meanwhile HP is just about to release the ZBook 17...
