Ribbit Ribbit Real Good
My laptop for work is biting the dust and I'm being asked to pick out a machine from bestbuy.com or http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ for a replacement. Budget is under $1,400.

I am a windows guy but I dont mind getting a mac as long as I can bootcamp it (thats simple right?) -

It looks like they already have some haswell laptops, but the only options are these for an i5: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?atclk=Processor+Type_Intel+Core+i5+Haswell&ci=18818&N=4110474292+4033986829

Which seems sort of pathetic on clock speed, 1.3ghz? Is that $1,300 option acceptable or is there a current better option? I want to play some games (not too crazy, I have a desktop for the intensive ones) but I also don't want a dog either. Am I better off trying to wait a little longer if I can?
