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?

not sure whether he was bluffing me or not, but I was asking about Envy 4-1239TU hmm.gif (I thought really hard, and could not see the logic of the design, but I let it pass, since I was just curious whether that touch screen ultrabook can go full SSD)
Sifu, can you confirm?
