Despite all of the sponsorship from Intel, it also wouldn't surprise me at all to see Ultrabook OEMs trailing Apple by weeks/months getting Haswell based stuff out the door.
Not exactly an ultrabook, but thinkpad x220/x230 was pretty amazing except for the low screen resolution. IPS screen, great keyboard, great performance aside from integrated graphics, space for an mSATA SSD as well as SATA HDD/SSD, battery slice to boost it to 20+ hours, removable battery, and great linux support.
I've got a mid-2010 mbp 15" that still works just fine, even if I could use it to cook food at times (any time the power adapter is hooked up), I guess I will eventually have to replace it but with an SSD and 4G ram it's doing just fine at the moment.
The one and only complaint I have is the low resolution, but 768 is not that bad on a 12.5" screen.
