    Anyone knows if Vizio is getting an upgrade on their ultrabooks soon?, since samsung didint upgraded the 15inch Ativ Book 9 i turned my head into VIZIO CT15-A4 but i really want the 8gb and hasswell upgrade, this specs would be great:

    15 inch full HD (no need for the touch(if i wanted touch i would get a tablet))
    i7 haswell low-voltage processor
    8GB ram
    128 / 256 GB Storage (both options)
    Intel HD 5000
    4 pounds max weight
    0.65 inches height.

    I'm not 100% sure but I don't think the ULT Haswell low power mobile chips are out yet? it might be another 2 weeks or more before they are available enough to start seeing them on the shelves and incorporated in to machines - they are very different to the Sandy/Ivy's and require different power supplys and sockets, as well as the 8 series intel PCH

    you can just get the 37w, 47w and 57w versions, you need to be waiting for the 28w & 15w parts for your ultra books???

    After looking around I decided to wait for more haswell ultrabooks to come out, I think maybe Vizio could upgrade to haswell, or wait for Samsung to say something
