Big news for laptops.

The 4th gen core processors are rolling off the line now and through Christmas. Also called HASWELL, these new processors have significantly better battery life. I’ve talked about them for the last year — and I said to WAIT FOR THE 4TH GENERATION! The third generation will be discounted slightly while they sell out, but they will not really compete in battery life.

The same goes for the BAY TRAIL atom processors for tablets and Windows tablets. These will compete in either the Android or Windows RT catagoties and should shake things up a bit around Christmas.

Not much going on in the desktop category.
