Any word on when the 13.3 inch model will be up for pre-order?

I too am waiting for the 13.3" version. I keep finding conflicting informationonline with some sources saying November and other sources saying December. Too bad Amazon does not have the 13.3" version up for pre-order.

@Cameron Warren: Where did you see the release date of December for the 13" model?

Well, November and December did not pan out so is it now January (of 2014?)What a farce the release of the Taichi has been. I feel like just buying a Surface Pro when it comes out at the end of this month.

This site says they have it in stock as of 1/8/13: http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=77131&vp;n=Taichi21-DH51&manufacture;=ASUS&promoid;=1366 But amazon still has the will notify you when in stock thing, for which i have not yet received an email from Amazon... so.....

Is it okay to pre-order when there is clear confusion on the specs available. I feel its like buying a pig in a pork. I guess the best option will be to wait until the specs are updated.

I pre-ordered when it became available again. Everything I read regarding the BD-UP5000 has been very favorable. A user review on the AVS forum for the new LG combo has pointed out some flaws, especially with SD DVD playback. I only have room for one machine and the Samsung looks to be worth the wait. I hope it is not delayed further.

yeah that is the only thing holding me from the camera. any reliable rumours on the release date of the new one? I can only wait about 2 months time though

Hopefully Amazon sent me what I ordered. I'll find out Monday when I get it. At one time it was stated that they were in stock which was later changed to not yet released. All I know is that Laptop Magazine had one over a week ago for testing and supposedly Amazon has shipped one to me.

Well, I'm still interested in buying but for no more than $435. I can live with what I got so far. For the same current price I will be able to buy a new model, whenever it comes out. Just not worth paying full retail for a not the latest model.

I've been wondering the same thing, does anyone have an estimate when this will be released? I have it on pre-order but I'm already thinking about going for the other U50 model lol... I hope it gets released this week.. Please let us know! :(

I too will wait for a 6 Cell version as well. Just hope I would not get a laptop with some dead pixels on the screen. My last Eee PC piss me off with that.Master-Q

Looking forward to buy Asus G53JW. Couldnt find it yet on Amazon. No update on release date too on any site.Any update when can it be available to buy...?

Well, I ordered this computer mid-february after reading the internet rumours of the scheduled early march release. Yesterday was 11th, today's the 12th... still no word from Asus, and Amazon's customer service hotline has no info to offer. Anyone know when we'll finally get this thing?

No. Everyone who bought one has been waiting for at least 11 months with the company saying something is in development. I returned mine because it still has no 8.1 support

I saw the gold version up yesterday for an hour or so available for pre-order then it went away. I'm waiting for the grey one to be put up. This will be my first tablet and I'm pretty excited about it.

I have just checked with an Amazon.com rep along with Asus themselves. They both say that the release date will in the week of March 7th.

That's a good question. I have attempted to get ASUS to say when this will be available but they have ignored my repeated queries via Facebook, Twitter and the "Contact Us" section of their website. In early October, ASUS had a preorder page for both the Taichi and the VivoBook but the Taichi was removed from that page shortly afterwards. At this point, the ASUS website doesn't list any US retailers who will carry the Taichi and the Canadian retailers they list show an estimated availability date of late December. Newegg lists the Taichi as discontinued. I am beginning to suspect that they discovered some major design flaw and are deciding whether or not they are going to simply cancel the product altogether. I've been waiting for a month and a half so far. I'll give ASUS another week to release some kind of official ETA before I cancel my order and buy a Dell XPS 12 instead.

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 ^^
