I have never personally tested that limit, but I have no doubt that Microsoft is correct in their documentation that Windows Starter will not support more than 2 GB of RAM: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(v=vs.85).aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_7 However, I also don't know if you would really "NEED" more than 2 GB of RAM with a netbook. Granted, more is often better... but how many programs would you really have opened on this thing? Right now on my desktop computer I am only using 1.7 GB of RAM and I have IE opened, 4 tabs in Chrome, Skype, Remote Desktop Client, Windows Explorer windows, Task Manager, Google Talk, One Note, VPN client, Windows Live Mesh, and antivirus software. Now I am not saying that you don't want to add as much RAM as you can (within reason) but if you spend another $65 on top of the price of this laptop that puts you at just shy of $400 then if you need to upgrade out of Windows Starter that puts you closer to $480 or so for the total cost. At that point you might be better off starting to look at other options and or re-evaluating your needs for a netbook. For $480 you could get an HP D1MZ that has a faster processor, faster and bigger hard drive, already runs Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium, and has a slightly larger monitor. Granted, that is really a "higher class" of Netbook, almost an ultra portable laptop more than a netbook... All that being said, I still fully intend to purchase this computer (I keep waiting for them to come out with a different color.... my daughter would be thrilled with a red option since I know she will be using this more than I will be) and from what I have seen it appears to be a great machine. Just something to keep in mind if you are going to start adding upgrades, you might be pricing yourself into a different "class" of netbooks/ultra portable laptops.

Same here - preordered on March 9th, and been sitting idle since. I have a media cabinet sitting with an empty shelf for this AVR. I hope it's next week.

This product was announced nearly two months back, and available for a few weeks now, but I am yet to see a professional review. Any pointer to one? Just curious.

It seems the release date is June 6th, but I'm not positive. I've pre-ordered. I'll post back once I get the ship info.

I saw a release date of 28th Feb for the UK, but I'm sure I saw 11th Feb somewhere on Amazon.com yesterday (although I can't see that anywhere now).UPDATE: a quick search on the web shows "March sometime" as being the current info. I think Amazon.com made a typo somewhere, hence I can't find it again.

I've been wondering the same thing, does anyone have an estimate when this will be released? I have it on pre-order but I'm already thinking about going for the other U50 model lol... I hope it gets released this week.. Please let us know! :(

I'm astonished that Amazon believes that I own this device. I have, however, been searching diligently for information on this very subject. The best estimate/guess for general release is perhaps the middle of November. Apparently the W700 has experienced limited release in just a few major markets. The surprising element to me is, considering the vast number of articles previewing this and similar devices (all touting an Oct. 26th release), is the silence regarding their absence in the marketplace.

Apparently Samsung won't say when they are releasing this model. I'm getting very antsy!!!

Any further word on the ship date? I am very excited, and really want to show this one off.

Why did Amazon remove the items page? Especially when everything on the net is pointing to a release date of Dec. 19 in the US! Ugh the mystery around this on all of the websites is nerve wrecking!

Interestingly, earlier today the Amazon page said "You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives." This was after is was available for a day or two. Now they have added "This item has not yet been released" to the pre-order message. It sounds like Amazon broke a release date.

I will have to wait until Oct 30th though I pre-ordered it long time ago (:
