I bought mine from Electronics Express a few days through Amazon's website. I think I bought the last one. I just googled the ASUS 1000H now and found it in stock here: http://www.topchoicedigital.com/viewproduct.aspx?id=10253865&l;=Froogle

I too have been watching this laptop for about a month and a half now. I just purchased one from another seller. I don't think Amazon discontinued it, it's just out of stock for everyone right now. If sellers are getting them back in stock, some are jacking the price up. I also noticed that Amazon has the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA on backorder. If you can find the 1000H, buy it...they're selling like hotcakes!

looks like price did just drop about $50. I had this in my cart at $525 just a few days ago. still deciding amongst a few I've shortlisted. Happy to see price is down to $479

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")

Canceled my order with amazon. They need to get their sh it together because several other retailers, even ones on this site are saying they have this laptop in stock and ready to ship. I went to buy.com, hopefully they will ship mine within the next 24 hours, I doubt amazon would have.

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).

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.http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pc/565108/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_pc_1_2_last#3

= ( .. I wish the price would fall back down to $899. Or even better, go on sale like the other asus laptops on Amazon.

Some retailers are charging a premium on it because it's "new". Newegg originally was charging it for $349, but it's on a $10 "discount" now so its $339.

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).

I doubt that's correct with newegg.com. I think they just wrote that, and will update accordingly. I do hope Amazon gets more in stock. I bought a ul80vt, but want to exchange it. However cannot get it exchanged obviously, since there is none to exchange it with. I love the laptop and just hope they get some new ones soon.

I haven't checked the MSRP, but it's listed for around $320 here (though out of stock) and it's available for less than $300 elsewhere, so I think it's safe to take it as one of those Amazon random-before-discount-prices.

I've seen the price at 19.99 here too. I think Amazon was selling it for the MSRP, but other sellers are trying to take advantage of the current high demand. If I buy it here, I'm going to wait until the price goes back down again.

I'm wondering the same exact thing. I saw another one by AJ Wholesale, but they're charging $599 for the 32GB one...so I'm just waiting when to hear from these guys. I hope it's not too long...I've Googled it and still can't find an answer.

yeh i spoke with amazon today and they said there is no update on shipping dates. they "dont know when they will receive the product". i emailed josh at asus and he said "Hi there, They have received their shipments I believe so it should be very soon." Whats up with amazon? i woulda paid the $399 + shipping elsewhere if i knew amazon was going to be lagging.

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 :(
