    Now that most manufacturers have announced Haswell laptops - has anyone heard from Fujitsu? Are they releasing new models, beyond the UH90 Ultrabook?

    I would really love to see a P773 with Haswell and other enhancements, or a 14" workstation. My P770 is getting a bit long in the tooth, and my M70v is past due for replacement.....

    None of the Lifebook P series are on the Canadian website now. Have they been discontinued for Canada? Or for elsewhere????

    I think the AH models have gotten a refresh as well, but don't have any info beyond that.

    I wait for a T903 with haswell... i7-4558U would be great. And full HD this time please! But anything else on T902 (with the exception of driver problems) is so well-made and close to perfect, that i really can't wait to hold the successor in my hands. <3 Fujitsu! :D

    Any word on the Lifebook P series? They don't appear on the Canadian or American websites at all.

    They disappeared in the US in April or May I think. I added another P772 on closeout in late May for 55% of what I paid in 2012.
    Although I have been a P series user for over a decade, the reality is that this form factor is not what people are buying in much volume, and certainly not at the previous price.
    Still, I'd love to see a newer model for the US with a better display and an mSATA SSD. The i5-3320M is fine for a small laptop, so I'm not seeing a ton of improvements just from going to Haswell. If they manged to fit a quad-core CPU in there it would be more interesting.

    Yes, imagine it with the longer Haswell battery life, the equivalent of a Retina display and a backlit keyboard...

    Lol... Full HD? That is so passe/... Look up the Fujitsu UH90/L (3200x1800 display, only avail in Japan though). Plenty more IGZO type devices to come from Fujitsu...
