Hi guys,
I am looking at a Haswell ultrabook to replace my wife's old lappie.
May I know what are the brands and model number that are already in the market now?

Thanks in advance :D

I've been looking around for haswell laptop as well, seeing uni going to start soon.There's isnt much right now, so if you can wait until end of july/aug as new ones are going to be released around this time.

After much research, here's are some available haswell laptops i found available in SG:


ASUS N550JV
MSI GE-60
New Macbook Air
New Alienware laptops (can buy from online)

But all these are heavy gaming laptops, im also looking for one, most probably a lightweight/thin one.

ASUS K450 also haswell. Actually haswell 4700HQ is same same as 3rd generation 3630QM in speed. Same 4 cores too. Unless 4800HQ processor came in.

Well, i believe its not only the same cores but i think of the features as well, 3630QM has HD4000 graphics while 4700HQ has HD4600, it's an improvement when playing games.

Consider Sony Vaio Pro $2500 for 256SSD and 8GB RAM. I have the DUO 13 myself :)

Seems like there's no 8gb variant in SG...

Exactly. I was actually ready to buy the Vaio Pro 13 when I saw that the price is actually not far off the US price for once... until I realise they cheated and underspec'd the Sg release

Tsk tsk Sony Sg you still won't get my money.

Am actually looking for a haswell cpu 15-17 inch laptop with only intergrated gfx and numpad. but cannot see any model yet. think have to wait longer for more model to appear.

I saw acer V5 with i5-3xxx cpu selling @ $799. am looking for this range. Asus/MSI also have only intergrate gfx 15-17 inch laptop with numpad. but seems the distributor is not keen to bring it in, sad.

If you can raise your budget , consider an acer v7 instead..its more superior than v5 and its running haswell processor i believe.
