I'm about to spend 1300~1600$ in a gaming laptop, is it worth it to wait for Haswell-E?

Haswell-E has been announced for May 11th.
Will it affect notebooks? Is there any other reason (except for eventually lower prices) to wait a month or two for any CPU updates from Intel, or is nothing going to come out soon?

Thank you for your attention!

If it is you're going to have to be prepared to pay a ridiculous premium for it. Ivy Bridge-E laptops are already around the $3K range and aren't exactly known for having good battery life. Plus the higher you pay for a laptop the faster it will depreciate in value so keep that in mind.
