    Suggest you buy it when you need it. The new tech will most definitely be full-priced while old stock might get a slight discount. Either way the end of the year seems a long way to wait for the modest improvement (at best) that Broadwell is promising.

    If you are looking for a gaming notebook then Broadwell isn't really worth waiting for. I think Broadwell is a lot more interesting for ultrabooks and other thin devices where power consumption matters a lot.
