Hey guys i really want to know when the intel fifth-generation core i7 for laptops to come out?

And what's better Broadwell or haswell-E?

Should i buy a gaming laptop with
4th gen core i7 or wait for a couple of months for laptop with fifth-gen

So guys i want to ask do you think razer and msi are planning now to make a gaming laptop with a intel 5th gen core i7?

And the laptop brands i want to buy is razer and msi laptops only

The answer is in time for Christmas.

The big draw of broadwell will be better integrated graphics.
But... for gaming, you want even stronger discrete graphics.

You are better off to shop for what you want now.
If you can, buy a laptop with minimal ram and a slow, small hard drive.
Plan on replacing the hard drive with a ssd and increasing ram yourself. It should be much cheaper that way.

If you can find what you want now, buy it now. Waiting for a new processor is a thing of the past. Other components are much more important now, SSD, GFX, RAM...

Haswell-E is 6 and 8 core desktop parts which are not applicable to a laptop. Not even that great for the gamer either.

The laptop you linked will be about as good as it gets today. The dedicated GTX870M is a very strong graphics component. No doubt the broadwell variants will have more power efficient cpu chips, but that is probably not of much concern to you.
Buy what you need today... today. If you wait for the next best thing, you will wait forever.
Soon after broadwell becomes available, we will start to hear good things about skylake for the following year. and on... and on.

Haswell-e is desktop only. If you mean haswell, then normally newer gen is better, meaning broadwell should be better. Since they're not out yet, there is no real performance info but we can guess is it should be a small bump up like with previous gens.

I don't think the new i7s will be out for christmas. Anything I've seen so far only points to the lower end cpus being out q4 2014. The other higher end mobile cpus won't be out til q1 2015. Power is a big deal for the mobile space and that's why they are pushing the lower end, low power cpus in time for christmas.

If you're buying a laptop, that one you've posted looks good. Whatever the Haswell CPU is. Think about how long these models take to come to market. It will be another year before a Broadwell version of this comes out. Too gain what - 5% CPU performance...
