Although the nvidia card is still powered up and sucking battery life. I tried messing around with some utilities (Bumblebee) that are meant to control power or selection of graphics card, but all I achieved was hard lock-ups. (That was on a 3.10 kernel, mostly default X from Ubuntu 13.04, and an updated nvidia driver. So things might be better with later versions of X components. Allegedly it does work for some people.)

Hi folks,
Anyone got any recommendations or experiences with Haswell laptops running Linux yet?
Got mine a few days after Haswell was released in mobile form from Logical Blue One who apparently specialise in gaming laptops. As such, it has an nvidia card that outputs directly to an Intel card. New enough kernel and X can drive the Intel card and that's good enough for me.
