Release date for ASUS U50VG-AM1 When is the projected release date for the ASUS U50VG-AM1?

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 :(

Yesterday, Amazon changed the status of this product to "In Stock". I pulled the trigger and ordered the ASUS. I was notified this morning via e-mail that the laptop had been shipped. I am looking forward to its arrival.

Thanks for the info thus far, Paul. I've been out of the country, lugging my 8 pound Dell Vostro around with me, wishing I had this baby. Sounds like the wifi card is good. Like the backlit keyboard? I assume the battery life will not be earth shatteringly long what with all the bells and whistles. The two reviews written thus far have provided about zero useful info, so if you can, keep it coming.

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! :(

Thanks for the heads up Paul. And we look forward to your comments about it. This is the one I've been waiting for and am particularly interested in the wifi card's connectivity prowess.

I don't know whether this one is available or not, but, there is nothing to tell you otherwise: http://www.itempond.com/cgi-bin/item.pl?id=ASUS58905875

They are IPS screens - supposed to be amazing. Reference: http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/02/acers-aspire-s7-ultrabooks-coming-october-26th-starting-at-1200/ (or many other sites across the web :)

Right now ASUS only released the i5-3350P model P1801-B037K. Once we carry the i7-3770, we will post it for sales.

I ordered mine last week and got it Monday. I couldn't find the date on the package (I believe it was under a sticker) but it was among the defective. I just mailed it back for replacement yesterday, however I may have an interesting bit of information Asus would be interested in... after I get my replacement I may be posting a video on YouTube about it...

hmm i wonder if Asus is actually building these and sending them out. it seems that Amazon isn't restocking these until there's an order bases on the difference of ship dates depending on when the order is placed.the CSR i talked to said most of the time the item will ship out earlier than it states on the website, crossing my fingers on it ship out before the end of this week..

I've got to say that I'm a bit disappointed that virtually the same computer that was released only days ago will soon be one-upped. On the other hand, when the UL30JT is finally released, something even better will no doubt follow quickly on its heels. This is of course the nature of technological advance. The A1 however, currently fills a particular niche (performance+price+endurance) and fills it extremely well, especially for my needs. I'm still very excited for the A1 and can't wait to unbox mine.

I was wondering the same in fact. Its actually confusing. If you look in the press release http://www.samsung.com/uk/news/localnews/2012/samsung-series-5-ultrabook, they state that the 14inc samsung 5 ultrabook is indeed equipped with a AMD graphics card. Also on the facebook of samsung Notebook, its stated like that. on the product page on the samsung website it mentions intel integrated graphics. I wonder whats correct. Anybody any idea when this laptop will be released?

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

This (Canadian) vendor of the Asus Taichi 21 indicates the ship date is 11/9/2012: http://m.futureshop.ca/defaultpage.aspx?lang=en#/catalog/productdetails.aspx?ajax=true&sku;=10227468〈=en-CA

NewEgg went from "ETA: 11/07" to "Out of Stock" instantly... in the time it took me to refresh my screen. Why does that sound so familiar? Oh yeah, Amazon did the same thing!Does this thing even HAVE a release date?!
1068786
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.

Supposedly the only two that will be available right away, according to the Asus website, will be black and white. And I'm hoping the black one doesn't ACTUALLY have that horrific keyboard (with the "\" key where the left shift should be)

See the "release date for U50Vg-AM1" thread. A buyer got 3.5-4 hours. Very nice of him to provide this info as Asus is anything but forthcoming on the battery life of the backlit keyboard models.

Don't know, but this PC is crap. Bad battery life, bad motherboard. I would not advise buying an ASUS.

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.
