Why is there only one review of this laptop? Where's the user feedback on Amazon?

I am also quite curious. Especially in comparison to the UL50vt, as you mentioned. The specs are incrementally better in the UL50vt, such as DDR3 instead of DDR2, 500 GB instead of 320 GB, and of course the Nvidida G210 switchable graphics. With the rebate on the UL50AG-A2, it appears there is a significant price difference, though. The UL50vt costs around one twenty five more. So, are these incremental improvements worth the eighteen percent increase in price? I'm not sure. Last week I didn't think so. This week, I'm on the fence, but leaning slightly towards the UL50vt. I also included the Dell 15z in my comparision, since the form factor and weight were very similar, and it had the same processor. But options can bump the price up fast, and the Dell only had a 1 year warranty.

I thought this laptop had already been released. As a matter of fact, I thought it was released on 3 March 2010. Is Amazon not selling the laptops until a later date?

I'm waiting for some reviews as well before I take the plunge. Newegg already has a few reviews, but not very in depth. I'll be watching that site, as well as Amazon, for some reviews for this product.

Totally agree with you ladies and gentlemen. I think that this delay is not a good sign but I have not yet cancelled my preorder. I hope that the first reviews for this product arrive before Amazon confirms and sends the machine so I can have time to read them and cancel the oder if something was messed up by Samsung. The hype for this laptop is really driving me nuts as I stiil think that this is a nice laptop for the price, but if I don't get it for the third week of november I'm going to pick some other laptop and don't bother anymore for samsung.

Most of neweggs reviews are also about the experience you had shopping at newegg also there are not as many reviews posted on newegg as are on amazon....amazons reviews are mostly about the product themselves and not so much amazon because amazons customer service is far superior to neweggs...i like both companys equally

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.

Same here...."Early Feb....blah, blah, blah" from HP and nothing better from Amazon. IN happier news, price just dropped $20 from when I originally pre-ordered so I had them adjust the price. Will be watching the price like a hawk before it ships for any further drops.

Thanks. Now it also shows reviews again. Strange. It did not show any reviews nor the link to write a review when I posted here 5 days ago. Maybe it was a glitch in the Amazon.com website or something. Cheers!

They have released it. The new description "not in stock" is probably appropriate.I received my Aspire 1810T-8679 today.

I bought this laptop 2 months ago from Amazon and I can't say I have any complain so far. Screen resolution is perfect as well as other features. I will recommend it any time. Go for it!

seriously, how about an update? I'd like to order it somewhere else if Amazon can't get any shipped out.

Well, I ordered this computer mid-february after reading the internet rumours of the scheduled early march release. Yesterday was 11th, today's the 12th... still no word from Asus, and Amazon's customer service hotline has no info to offer. Anyone know when we'll finally get this thing?

It has been out of stock since July. There were some noticeable problems with these laptops (in design). Customer complaints about really bad backlight leaking, bent keyboards (in the middle), and the USB slots do not align with the outside shell. Hopefully ASUS tries to fix these issues for a second revision of this laptop. They are coming out with another line of ultrabooks with dedicated graphics minus the IPS screen (:-/). ASUS S Series (this month or next month will be the "official release")

Rafael, I am a total Asus fan but I had to return the first laptop I ordered because the key board wasn't lit up and the keys didn't work properly (particularly the cap key). After researching this further I found that Asus is having some quality control issues on this and similar current models and and that they had numerous people complaining about any number of items. My life update wasn't working, some of the drivers weren't working so I returned mine to Amazon (within the 30 days period) and got a replacement. No issues whatsoever with the replacement laptop. If you cannot return the laptop to Amazon I urge you to get this thing fixed by Asus under the warranty ASAP. Sorry, wish I had better news.

I just called square trade and they told me that it only covers products/laptops purchased on amazon. No where on the amazon sale page does it mention that. It just says you have to purchase the square trade warranty within 30 days of purchasing the laptop. I have 2 days left to get the warranty, ????

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on this laptop but the fact that it's been available since Dec. 2011 and NOT ONE REVIEW makes me very nervous.The ASUS A53E-EH71 15.6-Inch Laptop has been on Amazons Top 100 Best Sellers in Laptops List at #41 for 30 days plus...I just don't get it.http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pc/565108/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_pc_1_2_last#3
