I heard there are some stores in the UK that carry the Wind as a floor item. I would not pin my hope of heaven on finding one in stock there, though.

Best Buy hadn't even heard of it hahaha. All they had were way overpriced lightweights for $1,000 +. I think they really lag on getting the latest computers to market because they have to carry inventory. Amazon can just list the freshest latest computers and get one out to you. Plus Best Buy has the problem of having to replace one of their existing computer models with a new one and that takes time to clear out the old inventory. They also can't get as wide a selection of brands as you can find on the internet.

Rich, Thanks for the reply. Let me know what you see popping onto the market. Only 3 cells on this one, I wonder why. Good enough for me tho. This one is more full featured than those other little ones. They are too limited and small. This one has a good price. I know, for a little more I could get a regular laptop. I just like the toy feeling of it. And it doesn't take a lot of power to stay on for hours. Shipping is 3 to 5 weeks! So there's time to cancel if another one looks good. Nice to have a little thread here to check while I wait. Thanks.

My question exactly! This is definitely the notebook/netbook I want to buy, but I can't find it anywhere! I know it's on sale in Canada however.

Well, since no one bothered to give us any feedback, I just might cancel the pre-order. For those looking for it, Gen Tech computer has these in stock. http://www.gentechpc.com/

I ordered a blue one this morning and at the time I ordered it said shipping within 2-5 weeks. Now it just says this item is not yet released.Was considering a Dell Mini, but Dell's prices just aren't as good and they don't have a hard drive model.

Personally, if I were going to be carrying it around every day, I would prefer a lighter laptop. If it is just an occasional time, that would be different. I just LOVE this laptop. I noticed the first two responses were male. I am a female, so perhaps that is why I would prefer a lighter laptop if carrying around every day since I tend to have other things to carry, such as purse, etc.

I went to best buy and we found one online. The model number is on the back of the cord, I need a new laptop, because they are little small androids that need to be protected. So a protected case will be a good choice also.

Don't buy it here you can get it elsewhere 100 dollars cheaper. I'msure Amazon will get the correct price point later but just to let you guysknow there is another ASUS tablet in the horizon so you guys might just want to skip these tablest....big mistake on ASUS part I think youcan google for it should be coming out in the summer, worth the wait.

yup, i guess they increased the price since its only newegg and amazon that has this laptop, plus amazon takes "2 to 4 weeks" to ship, so newegg took that as an opportunity to make some extra profit ( bastards)i cant afford to wait that long tho :(amazon might end up getting my extra $50... sigh...although... a friend of mine placed an order for this laptop from amazon... two weeks ago.. and he got it last week friday...so i guess it could take a lesser time than amazon claims it would.

Honestly, I was 100% skeptical about buying a refurbished laptop. This laptop is amazing and for the price, it just can't be beat. It was recommended by my engineer co-worker and I couldn't be happier. Looks and works like brand new. It could have been returned because there is no disk drive? I saw nothing wrong with it. My advice is go for it. Hope this helped!

Great, I hope you post a full review soon.I'm curious about something. The PC looks flat like you use it like a laptop IF you were able to use a touch-screen keyboard. Does it come with a touch-screen keyboard?The thing about this that makes me wary is I don't know why one would even need a touch screen if it has to stand up on a desk like a regular monitor. In that case it seems easier to use the mouse than to reach up to touch the screen.

Thanks, Joshua. The briefcase looks like it will work perfectly, so I just ordered one. Wish it were lighter than 1.8 lbs (I seem to have a hang-up with weight), but everything else about it seems to be exactly what the doc ordered. Have you received the laptop and bag yet? Let us know what you think.

Go to BestBuy and you can hold one in it's packaging. They just started selling them at the store here so I imagine they are everywhere.

Gary I had to get one for mine. I typed in what type of laptop it was and it gave me a large selection of different one. Some not being for mine. I just clicked in one and bought it. When it came it was different looking than mine. More bulk and raised the laptop up. I actually thought it was the wrong one and was about to send it back but tried it and it fit and works great. If you order one and it looks different. Try it anyway.

Agreed, Amazon can shove it. Just bought one off of eBay. Base price was 1889.99 shipped, but I get $151.20 cash back from Windows Live, and hopefully another $56.70 cash back from ebates.com for a total price of $1682.09. Ordered it today around lunchtime, will be delivered tomorrow between 10 and 2. (beat that, Amazon).

Its strange...I bought this computer at Best Buy - 3 weeks ago (4/14) for $599...its now $749 there and at Amazon.com, the price has always been this high. Thought Amazon would be the less expensive route - guess I was wrong. The computer is great for my needs, though.

I believe that Tigerdirect has the same Asus laptop with almost identical specs, but it's listed at one hundred dollars more than Amazon. On top of that, there's tax (at least if you're from TX like me). I ordered from Amazon on the chance that they may be in stock again. Haven't seen any other deals like this one unfortunately.Edit: Here's the tigerdirect one I was talking about:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7124324&csid;=ITD&recordsPerPage;=10&body;=REVIEWS#tabsMost notably, that one has a blu ray player and a 2-year warrenty rather than the 1 year that Amazon has.
