Apple will probably announce a new MacBook Pro at Macword in mid-January, but the new model will probably not be any cheaper. I also doubt that prices on the current model will drop much once it goes on closeout.

Amazon does not always have the best price... I have watched the price on this item for a while. FYI, if you live near a microcenter, they have this laptop for $1199 - $200 (instant savings) = $999.... Its an in-store only special, but you can find more info on their website http://microcenter.com ... I have e-mailed Amazon to see if they would lower their price, but I am still waiting for a response... I also would prefer to buy from Amazon to use "prime".

Another site called "exoticpc" which also sells this product is also doing pre-orders and is is giving at ETA of early March. Still vague but its something. I'm going to hold out for it, the 2 year warranty is worth it!

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.

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'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.

Well shipments started March 4, I just got mine through Ebay and have to say this laptop will make those Alienware fans hate you for having such an awesome laptop for a cheaper price than theirs. Also through Ebay you can use the Bing.com Cashback program and save $165.00 off the $1695.99 price for the A1 and $127 off the $1595.99 for the A2.

Yep...supply & demand. I almost bought it for $199 last week...guess I should have. It's not just Amazon, all the other venders are either out of stock, or have jacked the price way up. That's OK...I'll just wait for the Christmas shopping craze to pass...then I should be able to pick one up at a fair price.

Yes, I realize this... I saw the price back in mid July as well but didn't order it then because I wasn't ready yet. I'm wondering if the price will every go back down to that... and my guess is that it's not likely... I see it from $1900ish area. I think it's too popular of a TV for them to drop the price now.

I have this computer; the Lenovo S10. I enjoy it very much. But this is not a new machine, and shouldn't be something you are waiting to receive. I would suggest that you cancel your order and order again through another supplier. It's there on newegg.com for the same price and free shipping. If you can get by with a HDD of 80 Gb, you can even save some money. If you order the model with 512 Mb of RAM, or even 1Gb, it's easily upgraded to the maximum of 2 Gb by investing an additional $20 in a 2Gb RAM stick. Installing it takes under 5 minutes. Finally, if money is not an issue, and you would like something similar with a 6-cell battery, take a look at the Samsung NC-10.

The problem with laptop has always been the same. "How long will this last...?" Not being able to change any hardware (other than RAM and/or Storage) if you want to buy a gaming laptop, I always thought you better buy the best hardware that is out. As far as I've checked, this laptop has the best hardware as a stock computer. From this, you go to SLI and custom hardware laptops that go to the 4K+ area.As they said before, with technology is kinda hard to predict, but I believe you will be good with this hardware for 3~5 years before this GPU falls below "minimum requirements".

I would wait personally. The price drop will be there shortly. It will also allow you to read some reviews about core clocks and overclocks.

Do we have a clue when this will actually ship? It's between the 553 and 554 for my this Christmas, and with the way the 553 is selling, I worry that it might be out of stock if it becomes clear the 554 isn't going to make it.

I've seen it as low as $850. I'd wait to get it around $800 or so sometime after New Year's.

Just bought the KDL46-Z4100 B online for $1687 with no tax and no delivery. You just have to wait and do your research. The prices really dipped immediately after Christmas and there is apparently an LCD screen oversupply in the market so prices will likely dip a bit before coming back up. Also, Sony is in the process of really trying to penetrate the market with the XBR series so the prices are coming down on the models lower on the "depth chart".

I don't think they had any idea it would be quite this popular, particularly as a pre-order. Hoping to get mine, too, before Christmas. But, if it's delayed further, it's delayed further - that certainly won't make me not buy it. I understand how anxious people are to get their hands on one of these - I feel the same way - patience is a virtue. (yeah, yeah, I still want it here now, too ;-)
