Miguel, Amazon should receive more units into their inventory by 12/8. Sorry for the delay but it is a very popular model and we're trying our best to keep up with demand.If the free $75 gift card is important to you, order the UL20 now, with the gift card...the gift card promotion might last another day and it might last another week, it may last longer. That decision is still up in the air. But ordering before the promotion ends will ensure you get the pc AND the gift card; and the earlier you order the higher up in the queue you will be to receive your pc once the shipment arrives to Amazon.

Is the general consensus that this is going to be a good to very good machine? I like most of the specs, but you never know until you have it in your hands...would love to hear thoughts of those considering purchasing this netbook.

Amazon is now claiming this won't be in stock until Nov 14. Hmmm... I needed mine this weekend.

I think this is the laptop for me. I really liked the Asus EEE. Just need something with more computing power. This or the 13.3" one? Tough choice.

Hi Zach, we shipped Amazon a large quantity of the UL20A on Friday 11/6, they should be receiving them starting on the 9th or 10th (some shipped to W. coast, some shipped to E. coast). So they should start shipping from Amazon by Wednesday.Thanks!

Thanks ASUS! It's great that you respond helpfully in these forums - you seem like a great company to do business with.

It's probably best to wait a few months. Hopefully ASUS does a redesign on the dock, it's junk and not a tight fit like my old TF201 w/dock.

Thanks ASUS, your input is always appreciated. I saw the official specs for the UL30vt and I am excited and my CC is equally excited. It is ready whenever Amazon posts the preorder product page.For others here it is http://gdgt.com/asus/ul30vt/specs/

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I have asked endless retailers on ebay -all of which directed me to asus which is quite difficult to get thru to with a tech question if you're not registered as an owner! this info is GREATLY appreciated!

I must say its false marketing from Asus saying it has USB 3.0 on some models when its impossible to buy it, at least no sellers on the net specify it, what I have found.. (perhaps only one model is sold in one copy and is locked in the Asus test lab in China, yeah right so much fuss for that extra *** in the finetext of the specs)Why not be more clear on what models are with USB3.0 why not name it 1015PED-U3 instead?

Any updates on this laptop 'A1' w.r.t to the availability folks? I put myself on the pre ordered and waiting list too but nothings happened for about 5 days..Anyone started receiving them yet?

We have really not been happy with our ASUS. I find it slow and difficult to use. My older son has one that he really likes.

I'm astonished that Amazon believes that I own this device. I have, however, been searching diligently for information on this very subject. The best estimate/guess for general release is perhaps the middle of November. Apparently the W700 has experienced limited release in just a few major markets. The surprising element to me is, considering the vast number of articles previewing this and similar devices (all touting an Oct. 26th release), is the silence regarding their absence in the marketplace.

ASUS has not provided an update, and it doesn't appear that they will. Some people have had success with custom ROMs that are available on developer sites.

I spoke with customer service right now and they double checked. Unfortunately there is absolutely no ETA on the item. Is it even possible to get the ASUS U50Vg-B1 model which IS in stock and put a 500GB HDD, the 2.53GHz Intel P8700 Core 2 Duo Processor and the Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Operating System? I mean.. Thats the only difference between them.. I would assume its possible and would be great if they would since we have been waiting so long for this product. Its about to be a month since its been released.. Help us! lol :(

I too want the GPS version, and i wish they kick the ram to 2GB and switch to the better Atom N instead of the old fashioned Z!!c'mon Asus, this isn't a cheap netbook after all..throw us some good specs!

Greg: I just got a reply from Amazon customer service. They confirmed that it is not yet released, and did not know when it would be released. I have an email in to HP customer service and will let you know what I hear!

I am wondering this as well. Seems to be a make or break aspect of what otherwise seems a great laptop. I have been scouring the web to see if users have found a fix to the reported poor wifi signal. Any word from Asus would be appreciated.

Hopefully Mr. ASUS can give us an update. He was very active in the UL30VT thread so we'll see if he responds here as well.

Google for it. For some reason, it has become difficult to find. Worse case, contact Asus. It's a rockin' piece of kit, so I say its worth the 'treasure hunt'!!!

Engadget said it was supposed to be available "mid November" when it was first announced. Newegg doesn't have them yet either. I really wish they would hurry up and put these out.
