Aloha... out of curiosity... anybody owning this particular netbook willing to log into www.pogo.com and let me know if you can play games in a normal fashion... reason, in need of a portable computer, would like to know if i can actually play online at pogo before spending the money... and finding out later its to small of a screen to handle their gaming environment. Living in hawaii has its downside... not a lot of retailers where i can test these things out for myself. Mahalo

Why not consider the People's Champ, the Asus 1000HE?ASUS Eee PC 1000HE 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9.5 Hour Battery Life

.. and it's shipping now!BTW, the touchpad is a Synaptics and you can go up on their website, download the generic XP driver and end up with a touchpad which has both a scrolling feature and a tap-to-click feature.Got mine earlier from a different vendor and enhoying it quite a bit.

Thank you for the helpful information. I guess I will see about getting a cheaper netbook. I looked at a lot of reviews for different ones and they all seem about the same. Do you know which one is the best one to buy? I would like one that has a long battery life.

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.

Can you give any guidance on when other configs will be available? I want the ul80vt but I need to have win 7 professional and I would prefer the silver case. I had also read there was going to be a faster processor on offer (su9600?).

Engadget said it was supposed to be available "mid November" when it was first announced. Newegg doesn't have them yet either. I really wish they would hurry up and put these out.

Kind of sorry to hear that you won't be our guinea pig. :) I understand why you would chicken out.Honestly, I am one of the minority of IT people I know who actually likes Vista. Still, there has been a lot of backlash about Vista. I suspect Windows XP will be around a lot longer than MS wanted. Only time will tell.In any case, you must have Vista check out that HP 2133. *****As another side note, I am curious if you were leaning towards this MSI Wind for the larger screen? Or did you not know about the new HP model?Toshiba and Sony have some small models too, although I've only seen high end ones. Don't know if they make ones comparable to this one.Soon, all the companies will have versions of them.

I own the N120, and the screen is beautiful. I have avoided glossy screens before, but this one is unquestionably the best screen I have had in all of my 6 laptops so far. Also, the N120 has a full size keyboard. I love the machine.

Hey bro im going to tell my sincere experience... I bought that laptop like 1 momth ago, is got a lot of style and is very slim but i start downloading games like BF 4, Skyrim and watch dogs and in my experience the computer overheated cuz is too slim.

Is heavy but man im 6'2 so i dont care carrying a bit of weight thats it!Hope it help!

Sony and Dell are already using Z processors. The price is $500+ for the similar specs. MSI Wind U115 has been released in Japan, China and some parts of Europe - it uses Z processor. The price is around $700+. I really doubt that the netbooks with Z processors would cost the same. It would take some time for them to come down to this price range.

Been using a N52 for years, but it's on its last legs. Still not released. I've been looking forward to this for a while, but was hoping it'd be out by X-mas. :(

I have this computer; the Lenovo S10. I enjoy it very much. But this is not a new machine, and shouldn't be something you are waiting to receive. I would suggest that you cancel your order and order again through another supplier. It's there on newegg.com for the same price and free shipping. If you can get by with a HDD of 80 Gb, you can even save some money. If you order the model with 512 Mb of RAM, or even 1Gb, it's easily upgraded to the maximum of 2 Gb by investing an additional $20 in a 2Gb RAM stick. Installing it takes under 5 minutes. Finally, if money is not an issue, and you would like something similar with a 6-cell battery, take a look at the Samsung NC-10.

the samsung nc-20 is glossy unfortunately. i dont know why the glossy screen is the majority of netbooks? how stupid can companies be. these are for TRAVELING!! Not only glare is a problem but privacy as well. i dont need the person next to me on a plane watching everything i do.

It seems like the NC10SE has the matte screen and the nice keyboard, putting it ahead of the 120 in my book. I haven't bought either so I'm not trying to justify a purchase after the fact. I guess the touchpad is bigger on the 120 and the battery life is better on the 120 with the ability to only charge to 80%. Wish I could see these matte and glossy screens in person.

Sorry to hear about all the troubles. Hopefully everything gets sorted out.I just ordered the 6 cell from Amazon/J&R; for $580. J&R; has it in stock (not back order), so it should be here soon. I canceled the order for the 3 cell.If you're looking for the wind, try this site: http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/msi-wind/

According to this: http://www.dz-tech.com/asus-eee-pc-1000he-blue-netbook-intel-atom-n280166ghz-10-led-wide-svga-1gb-memory-160gb-hdd-win-xp-p-1115.html?zenid=025ecdd977bf8b366d57ef250c7e3ffb They will be shipping the 16th. According to the Asus rep on the facebook group - Their US distribution company will be receiving them on the 13th, and they should be in retailers hands by the next week - so the 16th through the 20th would be reasonable... Amazon usually gets stuff early so I'm crossing my fingers for next Monday/Tuesday.
