Are you sure the T300 Chi will be using Haswell? I was under the impression the "next generation" remark was making reference to Broadwell.Ian Cutress - Monday, June 2, 2014 - link
Ah, this might be true. Each generation on release is always the 'next generation', so you might be right. I assumed Haswell, my mistake.AnandTechUser99 - Monday, June 2, 2014 - link
Considering the device looks to be fanless and has a chassis thinner than an iPad Air (<7.3 mm vs 7.5 mm), I would assume this device is using Broadwell-Y. The "high performance and low power" remark also hints at that.I would also like to say, thanks for the coverage!

Ian, if you have the chance, can you ask for the weight of the T-300 when it is detached?Also, according to Gizmondo Australia, the 4K Zenbook will have a Haswell i7, so can you ask them for estimated batterylife?
Finally, since the photos from the event seem uncertain, here's a slide from a german website which covered the same event about the 4K Zenbook.

About that color gamut; wow.

Lots of design wins for Intel here.Mondozai - Monday, June 2, 2014 - link
Which would be a disaster if it wasn't, considering their "contra revenue" strategy.kron123456789 - Monday, June 2, 2014 - link
