Chromebook Refresh

[dettociao]

I'm in the market for a Chromebook. I've done a bit of research, but can't seem to find even a rough timetable for future releases. I don't want to buy now if the current models (particularly the $250 Samsung) will be upgraded within, say, 6 months. Any ideas?

Supposedly there will be a Haswell/Touchscreen Chromebook unveiled within the next week. As for the lower cost ARM variant, there's rumor of an octa-core Chromebook coming before years end.
I currently have the 3G ARM Samsung, it's lovely. I bought it when it first came out. I will probably get the Haswell if it comes out this month, the Pixel if it doesn't. I've been using Chrome for the last year for all my small business work.

Sounds like publicly available refresh circa holiday?
