I have called amazon 4 times now... nobody knows anything! It says all over the internet that the Samsung models HAVE been released, and it's the Acer ones that have been delayed... no one seems to know anything. I'm tired of checking my orders 20+ times a day, I'm ready for them to ship it! I mean I preordered it June 9th and everything... it should've been delivered to me tomorrow :[

Hopefully Amazon sent me what I ordered. I'll find out Monday when I get it. At one time it was stated that they were in stock which was later changed to not yet released. All I know is that Laptop Magazine had one over a week ago for testing and supposedly Amazon has shipped one to me.

Me Too! Same one, N53SV-XE1. Bought mine on 3/30/3011. But it hasn't shipped yet. And the site says the product is NOW unavailable... I really hope they can make it happen, I can't find it for the same price ANYWHERE!

Thanks for all your help folks, but I purchased a REFURBISHED 2014 model. It's 100% complete, has a 1-yr warranty, 1-yr free tech support and free shipping, all for only $179! Had to go directly to the WiFiBaby website however...but I'm all set now! :)

No exact date, but I know they've shipped in New Zealand (and probably other places on that side of the Pacific)... I've heard a mid-march release in the US (around the 20th possibly?) with Best Buy probably getting them first

Mine shipped with windows 8 but 8.1 was an easy upgrade. I have not had any wifi issues.

rumors from where? o0 it would be a dream come true if it does go live in before august..did u see the other lesser sized models in the same series? those have an actual date on amazon already..with the smallest having the earliest ship date, bigger getting a later date..and this 55 model dateless, so im assuming it's gonna be the last one to get out if anything..so i don't think it will be anytime now until october at least..and "they should honor" or "they will honor" ? x:thanks for the quick response though ^^

It has already shipped--Amazon (and other retailers) just don't have them in stock. I obtained the 8G model just before the holidays, and love it!

I have had one back ordered since Feb 2015. They were expected to be available in late March. Suppliers are hoping to fill orders in mid to late April. We'll see. I can't wait to get mine!

Have anyone had any update on the shipping date as of yet?? I'm very close to just going to the Apple store to order my laptop.

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

Not the current version, the LTE version are getting approval from FCC and should be available thru verizon or ATT. Launch date ? Late march maybe, anticipate cost be much higher.

William S., Although the unit does not ship with WiFi, a Wireless adapter - internal or external - can be easily added. If you are not comfortable in opening the system, we suggest an external USB adapter. Please note that proper installation of either type of device - or any other component - that does not damage the system will *NOT* void your warranty.

FWIW the current product status page shows a 'real' shipping/in-stock date of 10/26! Although ... as I understand it, price fluctuations are only honored if the pre-order was made 30 or less days prior to the ship date. That said, Amazon does seem to have a fair price on this device, assuming it's the US-3G version!And I'm personally waiting for the N85 myself, but might end up being tempted to get this N96 if the N85 continues to be delayed (US version)

I have just checked with an Amazon.com rep along with Asus themselves. They both say that the release date will in the week of March 7th.

I'm waiting for it as well. I have one on order from Amazon. The short answer is that shipments are supposed to resume in June but go here for the story. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30399/97/
