Release date? When does this laptop release? I know Best Buy has a stripped down version already released.

I asked Microsoft Store when they'd be shipping and they indicated November 1st for preorders. This should give you a ballpark estimate.

I went to Best Buy to see the stripped down version (NP700Z5B-W01UB) and it looked great, BUT the OS configuration was clearly defective. The OS was installed on 50 GB of the 750 GB drive and the rest of the drive was partitioned as a temp partition! Maybe they had to delay/recall shipping because they fumbled the windows install. The wait is pretty frustrating.

Been waiting 20 days for this thing to ship... Somebody botched its launch.

Waiting, I am wondering if I am falling for a lot of hype or will this be a top laptop. The best buy version did not impress me, I hope this version will. No news on release date but you can bet its a foul up with hw or sw. Lets hope software.

My pre-order was jsut cancelled :( how about yours?I dont have a lot of time to get a laptop and this is currently the only on the market that I'm interested in, not sure what to get now

Hey people who have them in germany say they are fast and great contenders for the mbpa laptops the only thing some dont like is screen seem to be either you like it or dont it.has been the most deciding factor for most

Ugh. Following the release of this product has been a nightmare. Probably a sign that samsung isn't great with customer service. Did anyone that preordered get one? Did they send all their shipments out?

Totally agree with you ladies and gentlemen. I think that this delay is not a good sign but I have not yet cancelled my preorder. I hope that the first reviews for this product arrive before Amazon confirms and sends the machine so I can have time to read them and cancel the oder if something was messed up by Samsung. The hype for this laptop is really driving me nuts as I stiil think that this is a nice laptop for the price, but if I don't get it for the third week of november I'm going to pick some other laptop and don't bother anymore for samsung.

Yes in deed it is. I pre ordered mine the first day pre orders were available. I got it in February. Best computer I've ever owned.

The Future Shop website has been updated now with an expected release date of December 7th. Expansys still shows a November 19th release date in the UK. ASUS is remaining tight-lipped about it, though. No official responses to any requests for availability details. I'm thinking about just picking up the Dell XPS 12 at this point.

Discontinued model. Went to bestbuy today on michigan ave, chicago and they are selling their display for $1200. But looks like it's now available on Amazon.com

Been using a N52 for years, but it's on its last legs. Still not released. I've been looking forward to this for a while, but was hoping it'd be out by X-mas. :(

I have called amazon 4 times now... nobody knows anything! It says all over the internet that the Samsung models HAVE been released, and it's the Acer ones that have been delayed... no one seems to know anything. I'm tired of checking my orders 20+ times a day, I'm ready for them to ship it! I mean I preordered it June 9th and everything... it should've been delivered to me tomorrow :[

Well, I ordered this computer mid-february after reading the internet rumours of the scheduled early march release. Yesterday was 11th, today's the 12th... still no word from Asus, and Amazon's customer service hotline has no info to offer. Anyone know when we'll finally get this thing?

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.

They have released it. The new description "not in stock" is probably appropriate.I received my Aspire 1810T-8679 today.

I ordered the 32GB version from Best Buy, and it was supposed to arrive at the store today (July 1), but now they say it's delayed up to two weeks. Sigh.

ASUS hasn't released it yet to the general public, there's no ETA for release date yet

That's a good question. I have attempted to get ASUS to say when this will be available but they have ignored my repeated queries via Facebook, Twitter and the "Contact Us" section of their website. In early October, ASUS had a preorder page for both the Taichi and the VivoBook but the Taichi was removed from that page shortly afterwards. At this point, the ASUS website doesn't list any US retailers who will carry the Taichi and the Canadian retailers they list show an estimated availability date of late December. Newegg lists the Taichi as discontinued. I am beginning to suspect that they discovered some major design flaw and are deciding whether or not they are going to simply cancel the product altogether. I've been waiting for a month and a half so far. I'll give ASUS another week to release some kind of official ETA before I cancel my order and buy a Dell XPS 12 instead.

I preordered the Acer tablet on Oct 20 and I was supposed to receive it Oct 26. However I have not received it yet. Neither Amazon or Best Buy can tell me when I can expect it. I don't know how to find out from Acer either.

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on this laptop but the fact that it's been available since Dec. 2011 and NOT ONE REVIEW makes me very nervous. The ASUS A53E-EH71 15.6-Inch Laptop has been on Amazons Top 100 Best Sellers in Laptops List at #41 for 30 days plus...I just don't get it.

It has been out of stock since July. There were some noticeable problems with these laptops (in design). Customer complaints about really bad backlight leaking, bent keyboards (in the middle), and the USB slots do not align with the outside shell. Hopefully ASUS tries to fix these issues for a second revision of this laptop. They are coming out with another line of ultrabooks with dedicated graphics minus the IPS screen (:-/). ASUS S Series (this month or next month will be the "official release")

rumors from where? o0 it would be a dream come true if it does go live in before august..did u see the other lesser sized models in the same series? those have an actual date on amazon already..with the smallest having the earliest ship date, bigger getting a later date..and this 55 model dateless, so im assuming it's gonna be the last one to get out if anything..so i don't think it will be anytime now until october at least..and "they should honor" or "they will honor" ? x:thanks for the quick response though ^^

Have anyone had any update on the shipping date as of yet?? I'm very close to just going to the Apple store to order my laptop.
