does anyone know whether broadwell will go into LGA1150? or even just in 9-series chipset boards?
if broadwell will fit in the same socket haswell's in then i think it'd be worth while to buy that pentium-K as a place holder, seeing that broadwell is still roughly half a year away.
in any case a $72 pentium-K would still serve well as an extra unit after swapping it out for a broadwell chip, considering that a 4.5Ghz dual-core is far from being junk.

Supposedly it comes to 1150, but is only supported by 9series chipsets
kitamesume:
i figured as much, given the fact that they did release 9-series for haswell refresh barely being compatible with 8-series chipset.
technically since broadwell is based on haswell refresh that had been die-shrunk to 14nm it should be the case, though whether Z87 will also support broadwell is another question.

ASUS released their NX500 and GX500 laptops with 4K resolution. It's basically a rMBP replica. The GX500 is the ROG version with gtx 860.
I really like these and if these are valued at anywhere near the retina MacBook Pro price I would get these. After a year or two I.e. Gtx 860 ain't future proof enough for even 1080p gaming. Wonder what the battery life on these will be. (Even if you tone down to 1080p)

30mins on max-load? i doubt it'd last more than 2hours though.
