Since this model has been discontinued, what's the replacement? I'm hesitant to buy a refurb if it was discontinued for a reson.

Laptops seem to be discontinued even more quickly than printers. We didn't buy a refurb, but our experiences with Asus support have always been great.I would strongly recommend a 3 or 4 year Square Trade warranty (4 if it is available on a refurb). We buy them as a matter of course. Good, cheap insurance, and they are a pleasure to deal with. If they are unable to repair an insured item within 5 days, they refund your purchase price.Hope this helps.But so far, out experience with this laptop has been nothing but positive.

I do not know what the replacement would be however I have been using this model since July and have had zero issues with it.

The newer model of the N56 series is the N550 series. At this time I haven't seen an AMD based N550. I don't think the sales were all that strong for the AMD based N56 though. If you go on notebookreview forums there's almost no posts about it. I'm typing this message on an N56DP btw. It's a great little machine, but the default wifi card is crap. Got an intel 6250 on order to replace that. But the sound system, backlit keyboard, 1080p screen etc make it a great machine otherwise. Got 16Gig in mine and running ubuntu on it and am very very happy with it so far.

It will cost $ 30-40 and would be used one as new is discontinued. If you want you send me your email and I will suggest you the links when I come across.

I don't know unless you contact the manufacturer. I bought my because it was discontinued. New model came out. May be cheaper just to buy another.

I would check for parts directly from the manufacturer and then check ebay and Amazon before buying anything. It shouldn't be to difficult to locate one unless it's an old discontinued model.

I also purchased a refurbished unit and waited too long before returning it. I would return it. I no longer purchase refurbished units.

Same problem. Just got off the phone with Motorola. They say that they have no information about this being a widespread problem. They also said that this set is no longer being manufactured and so any replacement would be a refurbished model. I'm not falling for that trickery, especially when others have reported faulty replacements as well. It's unfortunate, because this seems like an otherwise good solution for our home office.

I bought a refurbished one and have had no problems, it came with the same warranty the new ones had.

What N800 discussion site(s) do you recommend? I'm a total neophyte to this - I received my N800 last week and had to immediately send it back because it was defective, so I have not actually used one yet, I should receive replacement tomorrow - god willing

My friend who helped me set this up suspected it was not new and it has now died. I'd buy the new model...and make sure it is new!

I had to send mine back after it was out of warranty. For $60 they refurbished it and sent it back. I too loved it while it worked, but it lasted less than a year after the refurb. I decided it wasn't worth sending back again and got a cheaper one at costco. It's really a shame these things aren't built better. It's like buying ready made garbage - and not even recyclable!

The one I ordered was a "refurbished" model about $40 cheaper. The second one I got works great.

I would love to know this as well... Anyone found a replacement that works?

Yes, as the crow flies. Would suggest buying a NEW one not a refurbished one, they don't last more than 1 year.

It has a 3 year replacement warranty. I believe they replace it with a refurbished unit.

Not 100% sure because the one that I ordered was refurbished. But I seem to remember it being on warrantee for one year.
