Female friend needs a super light laptop for school, not gaming

under 4 pounds

she was looking at some things like:
http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/C3K79AV?HP-ENVY-4t-1200-Ultrabook

I told her just wait for haswell and I'll help out, but it's very close now


anyone got good suggestions for light weight? I hate laptops, don't keep up much

those HP's seem like the best idea vs anything right now.. when are haswell chips hitting laptops too?

I hate laptops though, so show me what you know

Was going to say because i'm sure you wouldn't go for HP and I know dell off the bat.

Since it's the summer now, is it possible to wait until haswell laptops come out? I haven't been following laptops much lately and with that kind of money what about an ultrabook?

I haven't read/seen anything definitive on mobile haswell yet. I know some may have shown off a few with haswell in it or it could be just a press pic.

Haswell desktop is supposedly next month so i'm guessing it's around there as well.
