u30jc price: Is there a reason that the price I am seeing for this laptop has gone from sub 900 dollars to 1,299.00 dollars?

This item seems to be out of stock everywhere. The $1,299 price is not from Amazon itself though, but a 3rd party merchant. If you look on GenTechPC, the price there is $869.

It looks like not many people did. There are lots of business laptops with the i5 processor starting at around $1000. Still this looks like a nice product, and the ability to remove the keyboard and have a lightweight tablet makes it desirable. Now that the 4th generation Haswell processor is out, there will be some deals on this machine.

I'm wondering the same exact thing. I saw another one by AJ Wholesale, but they're charging $599 for the 32GB one...so I'm just waiting when to hear from these guys. I hope it's not too long...I've Googled it and still can't find an answer.

When I bought this laptop, I am sure that it was "New". I saw several that were used or refurbished and I did not want one of them. I do not recall seeing similar 'warnings' when I bought this product. In addition, it was over $500. I specifically wanted a Windows 7 machine and they are becoming hard to find. I've heard of too many issues with Windows 8. This machine has an Intel i3 chip and I would have preferred an i5 but could not find a Win 7 & i5 machine and I did not want to order one from Dell.. I'm satisfied with the laptop. My wife has a similar laptop that is 18 months old and she has not had any problems with it. Today, Dell still has a good name and is reliable.

I did buy it at $299 after doing a bit of research. I did find out that the RAM CANNOT BE REPLACED. However, people running Win7 on this machine have said it runs fine for word processing, web browsing, etc. Also, my guesses are that this version does have the 6 cell battery, but does NOT have bluetooth or the upgraded (1366x768) screen. Otherwise, Amazon would have touted that.

I saw the 'Blu-Ray Drive' in the Technical Details as well.The laptop was priced $849.00 when I ordered it on 11-30-2010.The laptop was delivered (2 days late) on 12-11-2010 WITHOUT the Blu-Ray Drive. Just a regular DVD Drive.I checked on Amazon.com and there was no mention of Blu-Ray Drive anywhere (they must have removed it) and the laptop is now priced $729.99!Amazon customer service is denying they ever advertised that the product features a 'Blu-Ray'drive !!!

Its because the original price of the ThinkPad 8 was $449. Lenovo lowered the price. But don't expect it to be available anytime soon. They are having so many delays its not even funny. I ordered one when it was released back in January and I just canceled mine and it was about to be two months since i ordered it and still had around a month more to go to wait. This was not a preorder but an actual order.

I've seen the price at 19.99 here too. I think Amazon was selling it for the MSRP, but other sellers are trying to take advantage of the current high demand. If I buy it here, I'm going to wait until the price goes back down again.

Loooks like Asus is coming back to earth.With competitin fro Acer Aspire one they first tried $50.00 rebate on 901 which probably did not work now they dropped price by $100 on 900 and 1000 series and $50 on 16 G linux 900.They had priced these things unreasonably high.But still Acer aspire one 160 gb XP is still a better deal.

Yeah it is.. Even the 7000Series is cheaper than the 6000!!! What is up with that!?

amazon is combining reviews on similar asus machines - N56VJ-DH71 is 3630QM w/ 1TB 5400rpm hdd, 8gb ram, fhd display

The lowest I've seen these go for was around $129.99 during black friday on newegg. Original MSRP is $350 so I think that was a phenomenal deal.

Did you compare the specs closely? You get an i7 Processor running at 2.9GHz and Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz, along with an extra 250GB HD and 4GB RAM. I definitely pay $300 extra for those things.

I was planning on upgrading to the SP590UZ so I sold my SP565. I think I made a bad move because the price is way to high on the SP590 right now, a full $200 more than you can get an new SP565 for. I know this is outside the discssion so I'll leave it at that.

My guess-- and it's only a guess-- is that there is a current $30 ASUS rebate available if you buy the 1005 together with an ASus DVD drive. (See the J&R; site) Amazon doesn't mention it.
