News - New Haswell-based notebooks “have mostly been shipped”

[HEXUS]

So does a recently-spied Dixons training video show a Sony slider Haswell-based PC?

Read more.

Sony are coming out with some hot devices...about time too.

So will they come with the usual, utterly incomprehensible model numbers that all Intel based laptops seem to have?

Without doing serious prior research, it's just about impossible to bloody tell which generation of CPU your getting with Intel.

Looks lovely - but there will be some kind of Major Drawback....

"What its made my Sony" - I see the drawback , it will be silly price.

Are you serious?
It says what gen CPU it is in the first character of the model number.

Eg i3-2365M is 2nd gen
Eg i3-3110M is 3rd gen

And just checkout the CPU's passmark score to determine if it's better than another you're comparing it to.
