one of the consumer reviews covers this very well. it was featured as the most useful for the 1005ha-p model.

I have the same question, except mine is to be delivered today. Called customer service, but he could only quote the advisory label. He said I check it out and send it back if defective. However, I would like to know what it is, in case it is a defect I will not discover right away. Like the microphone hardware problem mentioned in the reviews. I did notice that the DVD offer to save $10 did not work, but I do not think that would be handled this way.

I haven't seen the "under review" item. I just see that it's out of stock. I got mine yesterday. No problems I can see.

I am finding models 1005-HA-P, 1005HA-V and 1005HA-B. anyone know the difference? The Asus website doesn't separate them out..

Slade, there is a smaller capacity 6 cell. One is a 60w and the other is 48w, I believe.

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.

I just received my Netbook and I am not really a "computer whiz", so I'm not sure what all the talk is about the rebate or DVD drive. What do I need to do to take advantage of the offer? Also, does upgrading to 2gb have anything to do with the speed of the computer or just additional memory?

Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true. But i just went to zipzoomfly. you are so right. the computer by itself is 377 and the drive alone is 65. both cheaper than amazon. combined them and it goes to 359 for 1005HA-P and 40 for the drive. basically a drive for 10 dollars over amazon. then if the rebate is mail in and you get back 30, then you get paid 20 dollars to get a free drive. wish I had waited another day to buy mine. I am waiting to see how amazon deals with this. at the very least they should sell the drive for 35-40 dollars to those who already bought a machine in July. Amazon is not going to be pleased about your post. Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true.

The black model is under review but the blue one isn't. However the blue one is now out of stock.I don't think the problem is with the unit itself but possibly with the wording in the description. There are different models of the 1005HA and maybe Amazon was shipping the wrong model, or a model that didn't meet all of the specifications.

Can someone post here when they get this from Amazon. I canceled my order, but might consider buying it from Amazon when people are actually getting them... since I've checked Best Buy and all other retailers mentioned on Logitech's site and like Stephen they've also never even heard of it. Late though it may be, and the In Stock status being a crock as it seems to be... I'm still thinking that Amazon will be delivering it before the retailers catch a whiff of it.

Order again. Mine came in perfect condition. Friend just got one and hers came just like mine.

i"ve been planning on getting this one but was just waiting for another coupon. As far as my research goes, there is nothing wrong with this TV. The buzzing sound some people report doesn't seem to be a major issue or at least it's a fixable one. I think what's going on is Amazon screwed up something and enough people complained so they pulled it until they can get to the bottom of the matter. I tried contacting Amazon to ask if there was a chance it might be available before the coupon expires today, and all I got was the same vague "Item under review" reply. The way I see it, they should extend the coupon for this one till the TV is available again since it's because of their screw-up that we can't buy it. i"ve been planning on getting this one but was just waiting for another coupon.

I think that's an onsite error.. just as it now says "This item has not yet been released.". I suppose it's just out of stock for now.

I noticed that as well -- now it looks like Amazon has stopped selling (new) units themselves altogether, with no explanation. We bought ours from Amazon recently and it seems to work fine. A thorough and generally well-done review was posted by someone on July 25 if you haven't seen it.

I think it was just a fluke with my order, I let Amazon know and they emailed me a return sticker to return the broken one and they sent me a new one. The new ones has no issues and works just great. I think I just got a dud, I wouldn't hesitate buying it, my kids LOVE it...still after months of playing with it. And if per chance you get stuck with a dud Amazon is great enough to resolve the issue quickly.

I ordered one back on March 2nd from Amazon LLC, and it was supposed to be delivered by March 29th. I contacted live chat on the 28th to find out what was going on as the status was still "Not yet shipped." They advised me that they were on backorder, and were expecting to have them shipped out and delivered now by April 17th. However, the status on my order hadn't changed and I hadn't received any email about a delay. After complaining, they upgraded my shipping to next day at no charge and gave me a $20 store credit to use on anything sold by Amazon LLC. Now my order status just says "we will email you when more information is available." After doing some googling, I found out that just the same day I called in, or maybe the next, a judge ruled on the pending lawsuit between Asus and Hasbro or Mattel regarding copyright/trademark violations. The toy manufacturer is suing Asus, claiming that they are infringing on the Transformers brand by selling the tablet. However, they didn't file the suit when the FIRST Transformer tablet came out. They waited until THIS one came out, supposedly because of some cartoon series called "Transformers Prime" or something. A judge ruled that Asus could continue selling the tablets while the trial is in progress, at least, citing that at least the name is descriptive of the item, as attaching it to the optional dock transforms it from a tablet to a laptop. So I'm guessing that the issue with supply was a result of the lawsuit issues. Still, Amazon dropped the ball on notifying customers of backorder status, delays, etc. And I ordered mine to use for business purposes. Not having it is really making my little business a lot more difficult to operate right now. :/

Don't bet on it being delivered at all. I ordered mine 6 days ago, and they just got around to telling me tonight that they were cancelling the order. Supposedly was supposed to be delivered this week, or so they originally told me. Very professional.

Mine were all fine. I don't think its an issue. They just missed this once. Everything I've ordered is fine and if not, contact customer service, they feed my issue.

If people are having to wait an extended period of time for this unit to arrive it might have something to do with the carrier and the distance it needs to travel to reach you. I know you posed this question back in February so I'm sure you received the unit by now so I'm answering this question in case someone else is currently in a similar situation. If you were expecting it on a certain date and it's exceeded the e.t.a. by at least 4 days I'd try to contact the seller to see if they can shed any light on the situation. I'm about to order another one of these units for myself and I'll try and note the time from when I order it until the time it arrives. Hopefully this will be of some help. EDITED 12/10 I ordered the unit on 11/26 and received it on 12/9 so it took roughly two weeks to arrive, however, I'm not too happy with it. I'm about to do a review now to explain my experience with this (updated?) unit.

Hello, Thank you for your order. Sounds like you may have received a defective item, Please provide your order number and we will reship you another item. Thank You

Ordered on the 10th. Expected to deliver on the 13th. Watching amazon for a status update. Would not be suprised if it got switched to backordered.Update: Amazon has updated the delivery date to the 16th today (This is on one-day shiping). Let the customer know the day it's expected to be delivered that it'll be delayed is quite dumb. Stay classy Amazon

I had this ordered through Amazon, but they canceled it saying that there wasn't any units available for delivery. Now I see they have some wtf? Of course the price I was going to pay is lower than what they want for it now.

Customers are generally not going to be able to answer questions about delivery (You want to contact the company.). I am having the same experience though. Did you noticed they just doubled the price? I doubt they're ever going to send them, so I'm probably going to cancel mine and order something else. I am also going to make sure it's not the same seller. As of today (May 30) mine have finally shipped.

Hmm....no. I would file a complaint and either ask for a refund or for a new one. Make sure to rate their services and be honest. They hate bad ratings, so they'll try to provide good customer service.
