    The notebook is in stock and ready to ship from Amazon, XoticPC, and eBay that I know of. Here is a link to the review/pics thread I started to hopefully help others decide:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=6067415#post6067415

    The build is pretty well done. The keyboard feels a little flimsy. What I mean is that when you press a key down you kind of press the whole keyboard down, but that's the cost of having keys that spring out and stick out more than most other keyboards.

    I purchased it from Amazon for free shipping and tax free.

    Hope this helps.
