Hello LTT Community,
I'm planning on purchasing a laptop soon for college, which begins in September, but I want to hold off and wait for Skylake refreshes. Does anybody know from Intel or the OEMs when laptops will start shipping, refreshed with Skylake? My classes begin in early September, but I can always use a cheap laptop and just remote in to my PC at home.
I'm particularly looking into the Lenovo X1 Carbon or T450s updated models, and of course they won't say anything about new models because they want one to keep buying the older models in stock, but I have noticed that their current models have been discounted which is a good indication that something is happening.
I haven't purchased pre-builts in about 10 years, so I might be missing some signs that usually indicate a new refresh. Also, if anybody knows generally how many weeks it takes for the OEMs to put out new models after a processor release from Broadwell, Haswell, Ivy, etc, that would also help.
If anybody knows anything, all help is appreciated. Thanks!
