Guys I saw HP update their catalogue yesterday and found this model.
It's an ultrabook like notebook without SSD and runs a i5-4200U Haswell Intel chip,4gig ram,500gig hardisc n 14' touchscreen n Nvidia 740M graphic.
It's so new yet I can't find a review bout it cry.gif
I'm freaking interested on Haswell chips-powered laptop,n I'm finding a laptop too...
Bt da price tag is RM2799,it's kinda expensive IMO as no 24/32gig SSD is added...
So guys how's ur opinion?Is it worth it?Or I juz wait till more models wit Haswell chips running?
I'm going to use da notebook for assignments,Internet ,movie n Borderlands 2 rclxms.gif
Is it ok to gt tis or gt da 500 bucks more expensive counterpart wit i7-4500U n 128gig SSD?

Will Malaysia bring in the full HD/retina model? Full HD at the very least!

Retina model shown on the Taiwan site.

Wow everything nice except the low resolution. rclxms.gif This one was bought by a customer? How's the battery life?

Means they leave space for HDD in the ultrabook model but we can't add one as there's no connector?
