    Yes, you get to be in a group. :p As opposed to being a lonely loner sitting all alone by your lonesome. :D

    left due to me leaving GX660R I had, then two more M18X's later I decided to wait for something special while punching GT683R for my everyday computing, so thats where I stand now

    Aren't the Haswell chips supposed to be Intel's answer to the arm chips and be used for only "hybrid" notebooks and ultrabooks?

    A major target of Haswell is lowering the power requirements, but there will be a whole range of CPUs, just as with Sandy and Ivy bridge -- not all will be ultra low voltage.

    I don't blame you. If I hadn't needed something now since I sold my desktop I would have waited for the new chips as well. I was even hesitating knowing the 680MX will probably be out soon as well. I'll probably look for another machine in about a year anyways so I'll pick up a Haswell with a 690 probably if that's the best that's out.

    exactly, there pushing new stuff out right now and it wont be so new half year later I suppose which is nothing in I.T. world :) 3940xm is out now, so did nvidia has launched 680MX right about a month ago, so take in place whan haswel will be out there will be all new line of GPUs as probably it may use some all new technology again rendering 6 month old hardware OLD STUFF/OUT OF DATE. There#s too much of marketting these days, where it used to be Intel pentium m for several year before they throw new stuff out, now they do it as frequent as they can, some times makes me want have no computer at all LOL

    Yeah the PC world has not become the most budget friendly. I seem to always upgrade every year to a year and a half so all my hardware stays relatively new.
