Will there be a pre-Xmas (mid-November?) spec bump to Ivy Bridge laptop lineups - specifically, I'm watching for the Asus N56VZ and the 15" Apple MB pro Retina. Looking for a good graphic design laptop (with some gaming on the side) and don't want to be blindsided by a sudden update after purchase. Not sure if the pending 'tock' half of Intel's cycle changes the 5-6 month rule or not.
