I just called amazon and they said eventhough my order on Feb 17 in the evening was placed so late my 1000he was still going to be shipping tomorrow so everyone should be happier about that.

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 preordered my Asus 1000 HE on Feb 19 Amazon lists it as shipped on March 1st with a tracking number via USPS...The USPS as of today Friday March 6th has NO RECORD of the Shipment. Amazon must be just PRE posting the shipping info to get us off their backs. I have written (email) customer service this week several times with NO responses. My delivery date is scheduled as March 11th...Last time I use AMAZON for anything...

I bought mine from jr.com (cheaper), and when I called they said from the 16th they'll be getting small groups to ship out to early pre-orders, and starting the 23rd they'll ship out mass amounts. Glad I ordered mine right away; I'm impatient as well. :)

RE: FriedhoffJust a friendly reminder: HD level performance w/ GN40 means battery life will drop. Likely a lot. Link above shows current set up consumes 8W whereas GN40 setup consumes 14W... That *roughly* translates to only 40% drop in battery life, so 9 hours would become 5 hours!

I would wait an extra week and order from Amazon myself. Their economies of scale allow them to have a return policy that is unmatched by any other vendor of this computer. My only relationship with Amazon is that of a satisfied customer. Also consider that was Amazon prime you can get overnight shipping for 4 bucks and get the computer potentially faster than those that ordered with ZZF.. Part of me wishes I could go back and order again from JR.com and get the live.com discount and have it by now, but I think when all is said and done I'll be happy I ordered form Amazon. They could do a better job, though, of letting us know the status of our orders, and when about we'll get our laptops. I would wait an extra week and order from Amazon myself.

If I don't get a tracking number by the end of the week from Amazon I'm switching to a different e-tailer that is shipping.

EAB,I did a similar thing. After calling customer service, I was told that my shipping method would be upgraded so that I would receive it by March 11. Still dissatisfied, I asked to speak with a supervisor, after several more minutes of discussion, he declared that my package would arrive on March 2nd. Sadly, I had to beat this out of Amazon.Also, there is a charge of roughly 30.00 dollars that has been added to my account for shipping and handling. While the Supervisor explained that this would be taken away, at this point, I am high skeptical of Amazon's ability to do anything correctly. EAB,I did a similar thing.

Update on discussion with Amazon rep. He said the the following:"I have checked the details and for sure that it will be released by 27th for sure. It might be released before but for sure it will be released by 27th. There is a issue with the item for not being in stock."I don't know what he meant by the issue of not being in stock. Perhaps Amazon has not gotten them in yet.

Hi K.C.,Thank you for purchasing and glad to see you were early in the queue. Amazon was out, we shipped them more, they ran out again (you got yours shipped from that batch). Today (11-9) we shipped Amazon a truckload; expect the UL80VT-A1 to be shipping from Amazon again by the end of this week.EDIT:I think Friday of this week is realistic for them to start shipping, but it could be early next week because this is a very busy time for them receiving inventory into their warehouses.

I just got the "items shipping soon" notice on my S90 purchase. I'd pre-ordered on September 25th, so Amazon seems to be prioritizing based on pre-order order (sorry for the double word use!) -- at least based on the comments above mine.Good thing, too; I was just about to head over to a few Best Buy stores in my area, and, based on any supposed success, cancel the Amazon pre-order. It all worked out in the end for me -- it's all good. :-)UPDATE: My order has just shipped, due to arrive on October 14th. Awesome!

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.

Wow, you're lucky Wilson! I purchased mine just a litte after you--early Thursday morning--and they gave me an estimated shipping date of July 24! I'm hoping that's just a date they picked kind of as a "place holder" until they got a better idea of when they would be getting more in, but we'll see...

September 25th it is. Amazon product page is showing it to be in stock now. Hopefully they will start shipping soon. Edit: Looks like anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon is screwed. In stock at Buy.com, J&R, and Electronics Expo, but Amazon is quoting 1-2 months! WTF?

I ended up cancelling my pre-order on Amazon and ordering on Newegg (same price; free shipping) earlier today. Status of my order: shipped. Sorry, Amazon. You're still showing this item on pre-order, so I went where my money will actually buy a computer, not just the promise of one some day in the unspecified future. In the end, it might be that my order from Amazon would have arrived on the same day. However, I prefer the certainty of knowing my computer is already on the way from Newegg versus the uncertainty of "pre-order."

For those who are considering an order: I ordered this model (with HDD) yesterday, and got an April 29 estimated ship date. James has good advice, I think.

Thanks for the feedback Aero. I'm in the same boat: ordered mine mid-June and waiting (not) patiently.

Yeah I'm pretty positive the date has been pushed again. I have been checking Amazon, New Egg and the Razer websites practically everyday for any updates and all the websites say out of stock or unavailable and the Razer site says the item has not been released. So honestly, I'm just gonna stick to the Razer site and wait until their site says it's available. To long story short, I wouldn't hold your breathe. Stick to the source.

Mine shipped this morning from Price Brothers. If you want one now, thats an option.

I haven't gotten an e-mail like that, so hopefully not. I ordered mine on February 8. When did you order?

I just ordered today and my order page says it will ship today. Will I get an email notice if it is pushed back? And has yours shipped yet, or still set for Aug 28?

@MJ, thanks--I had preordered a couple days ago, but now says not yet shipped. Wonder what's going on?

I ordered mine on 8/18 and was given a mid-September to early October time-frame. However, I just received notice that the computer was shipped today (!!!). Just wanted to update everyone.

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.
