I just ordered it yesterday, but I don't want to have to wait that long to get it. I have been searching the net looking for an answer to this problem, but no luck so far.

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 :(

It's available at Newegg (and has been for some time) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152590 I'm not sure why Amazon is taking so long to get it in stock. Since there is no indication of when this will be available I'll be spending a little extra money and getting it before Newegg runs out of stock (they have limit of 1 per customer currently).

According to this: http://www.dz-tech.com/asus-eee-pc-1000he-blue-netbook-intel-atom-n280166ghz-10-led-wide-svga-1gb-memory-160gb-hdd-win-xp-p-1115.html?zenid=025ecdd977bf8b366d57ef250c7e3ffb They will be shipping the 16th. According to the Asus rep on the facebook group - Their US distribution company will be receiving them on the 13th, and they should be in retailers hands by the next week - so the 16th through the 20th would be reasonable... Amazon usually gets stuff early so I'm crossing my fingers for next Monday/Tuesday.

According to Asus, it ships "November 2012." They haven't provided information more specific than that. Sounds like Amazon got it wrong; too bad, I was getting excited.

I'm wondering the same thing. I just ordered one up but before I tear open the box I need to know which processor it has. I ordered it thinking it was an i7.; After I posted this I noticed that they changed description to an i3.

On the availability. Amazon told me 11 February. When I asked what they based their estimate on, given the manufacturer's estimated of March 2011, they have been strangely quite, not answering my e-mails. Makes me think there was more than a bit of deception going on, trying to increase pre-orders. Otherwise, why wouldn't they answer my question? Not too remarkably, they quickly changed my status from estimated delivery to "not released". This isn't the first time I've seen Amazon lie when it suits their purpose.

Well ... Heres my update Now ... Newegg just erased the release date that was 11/7 and didnt replace it with anything ... So they no longer list an ETA.

Newegg is already saying they're shipping this.. But, newegg might just be sitting on the order too. I guess today or tomorrow it'll ship. I hope. Of course, if it doesn't ship till Friday, it'll be Monday before I get it :(

I did pre-order mine, Oct. 15th, with an estimated delivery date range, provided by Amazon, of Oct. 31-Nov.2. However today is Oct. 31 and the item's status still shows as "Not Yet Shipped"... I've got a feeling they are not going to get it delivered by Nov. 2nd then... ... ...

I would have to agree with E.Salmon on this one too. My delivery date says March 19th, but I doubt it will actually arrive then if yours was slated for next day delivery. More than likely it's another way for amazon and similar sites to keep customers interested in the product by hinting that they had it "in stock" at one time. I would just click the "Notify Me" button at the Razer site and await confirmation. Grrrr

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 ^^

Just ordered mine today (6/15), sure wish there was SOME ETA as my old HP laptop is on the fritz. I can't believe the deal on this thing, almost $1000.00 off the HP price. I wonder if the price has something to do with the lack of ETA? Anyways, here's to hoping there will be some ETA soon. PS: I did call Amazon before I ordered, they had no ETA =(

Does any one know if there's really a big difference with the spec difference of this laptop between amazon and newegg? I WANT THIS LAPTOP by at least the beginning of February! If this sweet baby doesn't come in stock by the middle of January I will`buy it from Newegg before they go out of stock too! And what's with their extra 50 bucks anyway?! Come on AMAZON work with me here! WORK WITH ME!

It was not in box, but it was the correct processor. I've been using it for 6 months now with no issue. You'll need some thermal paste, though.

I also ordered one last week. I asked an Amazon representation and he said that the estimated release date is the 2nd week of march 2011. I hope it's earlier than that...
