Release Date?? Anyone have any idea when this might be available? It looks like it isn't released by Asus yet?!

I ordered directly from Amazon on June 25th and received a delivery estimate of July 27 - August 11. I'm hoping to receive it before going on vacation on August 3rd, but I'm guessing it is going to get delayed. It appears to be in-stock and available from other sellers, but at about a hundred dollars more.

@Christopher. I asked one of the many eBay vendors offering this item with the March 11 ship date if he was going to be able to fulfill the March 11th date he claimed. He said yes but that he was way oversold on the item and that Asus was way under-prepared to fulfill the demand. Because of that I went ahead and pre-ordered from Amazon hoping that I would be able to get one. Nothing on Newegg either.Please let us know if you get your order fulfilled. Good luck.Cort

Does any one know if there's really a big difference with the spec difference of this laptop between amazon and newegg? I WANT THIS LAPTOP by at least the beginning of February! If this sweet baby doesn't come in stock by the middle of January I will`buy it from Newegg before they go out of stock too! And what's with their extra 50 bucks anyway?! Come on AMAZON work with me here! WORK WITH ME!

It's available at Newegg (and has been for some time) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152590I'm not sure why Amazon is taking so long to get it in stock. Since there is no indication of when this will be available I'll be spending a little extra money and getting it before Newegg runs out of stock (they have limit of 1 per customer currently).

No kidding.. I'm about to cancel and order at Newegg too. J&R; has it, Newegg has it, Amazon apparently doesn't. I even called and they're like, "Yeah, I don't know why we're not shipping it". Come on Amazon.. Get with it!

Why hasn't the Asus rep answered this question? Unless, they are purposely leaving it ambiguous.

I ordered mine last week and got it Monday. I couldn't find the date on the package (I believe it was under a sticker) but it was among the defective. I just mailed it back for replacement yesterday, however I may have an interesting bit of information Asus would be interested in... after I get my replacement I may be posting a video on YouTube about it...

What's going on here? Has anyone been notified that their UL80vt shipped? I sent amazon an email about this asking what is going on as I perordered under the assumption that they have the laptops ready for the 22nd. Now they don't even know when they're getting them??? Maybe I should cancel and order through another online store eh amazon?

I am waiting for it too...it seems the product is old now as I see a newer version link (with only 4 gigs of RAM..)

Same here Robert. now it's back in stock. oh well. I'll wait for prices to drop or pick it (or another model) somewhere else. I think Newegg has a comparable one on sale.

Hi Robert, did you find the adapter? It seems it's out of stock everywhere, ASUS discontinued..so are we out of luck,uh?

Just ordered mine today (6/15), sure wish there was SOME ETA as my old HP laptop is on the fritz. I can't believe the deal on this thing, almost $1000.00 off the HP price. I wonder if the price has something to do with the lack of ETA? Anyways, here's to hoping there will be some ETA soon. PS: I did call Amazon before I ordered, they had no ETA =(

The Future Shop website has been updated now with an expected release date of December 7th. Expansys still shows a November 19th release date in the UK. ASUS is remaining tight-lipped about it, though. No official responses to any requests for availability details. I'm thinking about just picking up the Dell XPS 12 at this point.

Ordered March 22, estimated ship date April 14-22. I called Amazon on this and the representative said this is typical for Asus.
