By Cliff Joseph-Getty-The arrival of Intel’s new 4th-generation range of computer processors – known collectively by the codename ‘Haswell’ – was rather overshadowed by the punch-up between the Xbox One and PS4 last month.

Intel claims that laptops with a Haswell chip can last for up to 11 hours – although we’ve actually seen more on some of the latest laptops. The power-efficient chip doesn’t require large internal fans to keep it cool, either, which means that manufacturers can produce laptops that are slimmer and lighter than ever before. So here’s our guide to the next-generation Haswell laptops that are coming your way this summer. Please click on the image above to view the rest of the story Less
