Did you order this product from Amazon, and if so, what was the packing like? I am very leery to order a 1K+ laptop and have it arrived damaged.

The product never reached me. After 3+ months of waiting, had to move and so I cancelled the order.

Nothing special. Typical acer box. I purchased two and returned one, they good with returns. No problems with shipment.

Packaging was very good, did not receive damaged. Bubble wrapped in a big box.

Packing/shipping was perfect. It came as a box, within a box, within a box, surrounded by bubble wrap. I wouldn't worry about it being damaged. Amazon's CS is top notch, anyway, and would definitely help you out in the unlikely chance that something does happen.

Packaging was very good. It never occurred to me to be concerned - I assumed it would be packed to survive this sale/delivery path and I was correct.

Actually, even though I had ordered this laptop, the vendor never sent it. They had some back order problem and they themselves cancelled the order. So, sorry I can't shed any light on what you are asking.

Good points. It's still relatively new, and I wonder especially how the hard drive model has held up. My new one arrived DOA, and now I'm really struggling over whether to ask Amazon for a refund or an exchange. This baby may be intended to be Solid State all the way, which means the hard drive models will be unwanted period pieces in another year or two.

this makes me feel better as I seen a number of comments that say that it wasn't after buyers checked the asus support website for the recall "http://vip.asus.com/eservice/changeSandybridge_NB.aspx?slanguage=en-us"I also have seen a number of negative comments on the perfroamnce of the laptop.I am praying that these comments are 1 in a thousand sold. I also pray that I won't be one of those "1"'s.thanks for your response

I see that two other people answered you, so I will trust them in regards to the warranty. I bought this for my husband and turned over all the packing info to him. It's a great laptop. I still have a PC on our work desk, and I prefer working with his laptop. Faster!

Hi Diane. Nothing else preloaded when it arrived. I have thoroughly enjoyed this laptop. I was a bit skeptical before it arrived. I give it 5 stars!

I returned my laptop because I bought it in June but the seller have me a warranty that had started sometime in feb. Be careful of non amazon sellers. They won't give you a refund easily. And the laptop was not worth it. Much better and cheaper options available.

There were a couple of dead pixels on the screen. I know I could have shipped it to Asus. But I kind of have an issue with having to ship a brand new laptop back for "repair." The laptop itself had no problems, and I am quite pleased with it. I honestly cannot find one problem at fault with the laptop. The dead pixels on the screen is an issue any LCD panel could have, so I don't place blame on them.

I have sent my HP Envy to India through courier and it is stuck up in customs. I will try to update when I receive it from Customs :)

Hi Oscar. It's an awesome laptop! The laptops we sell with Amazon are built and ready to ship. Upgrades can be done after the purchase though and you could add for example a 240 GB Intel 530 or Crucial M500 mSata drive allowing you to keep the original drive for extra storage. Our laptops are built to allow owners to easily upgrade them.

Edward,You're very welcome. I ordered it straightly from Amazon one week and a half ago when it was $949. General impression about it - I love it! It is super fast. My previous laptop was based on Core 2 Duo (2 GB RAM) and the difference in speed is very noticeable.

I returned the laptop, unopened. My niece was helping me and she is a computer wizard...I'm not. I decided it was to much laptop for me. Wish I could help you.

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 :(

I ordered mine on January 20 and still not a peep from Amazon...just visited the 5th avenue store and they had a shelf full of the 500 Gb model (no 1 TB models anywhere though...). Amazon should at least give us some kind of update on when they expect them!
