one of the consumer reviews covers this very well. it was featured as the most useful for the 1005ha-p model.

I have the same question, except mine is to be delivered today. Called customer service, but he could only quote the advisory label. He said I check it out and send it back if defective. However, I would like to know what it is, in case it is a defect I will not discover right away. Like the microphone hardware problem mentioned in the reviews. I did notice that the DVD offer to save $10 did not work, but I do not think that would be handled this way.

I haven't seen the "under review" item. I just see that it's out of stock. I got mine yesterday. No problems I can see.

I am finding models 1005-HA-P, 1005HA-V and 1005HA-B. anyone know the difference? The Asus website doesn't separate them out..

Slade, there is a smaller capacity 6 cell. One is a 60w and the other is 48w, I believe.

My guess-- and it's only a guess-- is that there is a current $30 ASUS rebate available if you buy the 1005 together with an ASus DVD drive. (See the J&R; site) Amazon doesn't mention it.

I just received my Netbook and I am not really a "computer whiz", so I'm not sure what all the talk is about the rebate or DVD drive. What do I need to do to take advantage of the offer? Also, does upgrading to 2gb have anything to do with the speed of the computer or just additional memory?

Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true. But i just went to zipzoomfly. you are so right. the computer by itself is 377 and the drive alone is 65. both cheaper than amazon. combined them and it goes to 359 for 1005HA-P and 40 for the drive. basically a drive for 10 dollars over amazon. then if the rebate is mail in and you get back 30, then you get paid 20 dollars to get a free drive. wish I had waited another day to buy mine. I am waiting to see how amazon deals with this. at the very least they should sell the drive for 35-40 dollars to those who already bought a machine in July. Amazon is not going to be pleased about your post. Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true.

The black model is under review but the blue one isn't. However the blue one is now out of stock.I don't think the problem is with the unit itself but possibly with the wording in the description. There are different models of the 1005HA and maybe Amazon was shipping the wrong model, or a model that didn't meet all of the specifications.

Are you saying that these recent negative reviews are false? I was beginning to get nervous; my amp is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Btw, I just discovered that many of the negative review comes from those who have not been verified as owners. Those who are verified by Amazon as actual buyers seem to give good reviews.

Same as G Nerd Boy G.I ordered on the 12th I believe, and I received notification it shipped on the 15th. It just left my local UPS hub, but does not say out for delivery... confuses me since it's a Saturday but it has no reason to be on a truck right now.The scheduled delivery date is the 18th -- I'll keep you guys updated =)

Update from Amazon, I emailed them earlier this morning. Their answer is that it's currently on "backorder", so theres no telling when or if they're even getting it.

I'd return it! If it came fr Amazon they need to know & if it came fr one of their vendors they need to know! What a waste. Go up your acct online & look up your past orders & click to return it! I've had mostly good but a couple bad packaging experiences. They often send follow up emails to rate just the packaging on irders. They care about that stuff. Do it!

Customers are generally not going to be able to answer questions about delivery (You want to contact the company.). I am having the same experience though. Did you noticed they just doubled the price? I doubt they're ever going to send them, so I'm probably going to cancel mine and order something else. I am also going to make sure it's not the same seller.As of today (May 30) mine have finally shipped.

Hi - Like you, I really like this unit. My I suggest contacting the mfg. If anyone can help it should be them. Best of luck!

my status changed to about to be shipped. Whatever that means. If it said that for like an hour and then shipped that means something to me. My status changed late yesterday afternoon and its noon today and nothing has happened. It sucks it's back ordered but i really hope that doesn't mean we have to wait till Monday for it to ship like that earlier post suggested.

Jimmy, I would not order this thing. Considering response from GiJoy it sounds like you would be dissappointed. I ordered it on Feb. 15, 2014 and despite telling Amazon 3 times that I haven't received it, I still have not received it. Do you and others think someone at Amazon or shipper may be asleep at the switch????? This is especially disturbing to me, since one of these messages was included with a message giving them glowing praise that they chose to publish. Do you think that their customer service has shrunk to the level or Sears and other now defunct big box stores????? LOL, George Jimmy, I would not order this thing.

A.Kupfer, can you let me know when you get the product. I did not see any reviews for this store and want to make sure its not aftermarket or a refurb. thanks.

Hmm....no. I would file a complaint and either ask for a refund or for a new one. Make sure to rate their services and be honest. They hate bad ratings, so they'll try to provide good customer service.

I also have a question. Why did you not contact the seller about this, or Amazon, or both?are you experienced ordering online? That is how problems are solved, by contacting the seller or the sales site customer service people,as reviewers like me do not work in the order department, so to speak. Also, Frieling might want to know about this mix up...contact then online at FrielingUSA dot com.

What's going on here? Has anyone been notified that their UL80vt shipped? I sent amazon an email about this asking what is going on as I perordered under the assumption that they have the laptops ready for the 22nd. Now they don't even know when they're getting them??? Maybe I should cancel and order through another online store eh amazon?

Mine shipped pretty quickly. It may be due to the New Year Holiday. Give it until Monday. Would be concerned after that.
