Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
Some juicy quotes from an exchange today on Notebook Forums. The thread has since been closed by the moderators. Just posting this here before it disappears altogether and since some frequent posters/resellers here are mentioned by name. Looks like Rick is finally defending his actions with a claim of real info. It will be interesting to see if any documentation/proof is forthcoming from anywhere. It seems the Z70va saga continues....

Maybe ISTNC should talk to Asus. Rick is just guessing at prices (and specifications and release date) at this point because Asus has not yet released anything final on any of those three topics.
Trying to guess at pricing is very risky.

Donald, perhaps it is you that needs to talk to ASUS. We have it in print what the increase is. Quite frankly, I think its time that all resellers start producing facts instead of speculations and rumor. Use the Forum mods as the recipients of these "facts"
MadMike, we havent increased the pricing of the refresh model since it was posted.
Of what benefit would it be to us to lose $200.00 per notebook? Come on, creativity seems to be lacking

Rick is talking to Asus, as I'd assume all Asus resellers do. He is not stupid or overly ignorant, either. There is NO NEED for the implications that ISTNC is a company that doesn't know what it's doing. This is insulting to the company and pointless unless you can provide proof that backs up your claims. The way to determine the truth is to WAIT AND SEE. Within two months you will know all the accurate information. I will emphasize for the last time in this or any thread dealing with the Z70va that this thread IS NOT ABOUT IST!!! It is about the decision to either get the Z70v or to get the Z70va. Please keep your comments on topic or the thread will be closed. Thank you.
**These comments are not made towards Donald alone. There are several posters who repeatedly bring up this issue. It has been dealt with in previous threads and will not be tolerated**

Hey that's what Justin at ProPortable stated. I didn't make it up and I don't live and die by his words either. I'd wait until it's actually out and then I'll purchase from the cheapest vendor... after reading other reviews of it, of course. But Hey, I was promoting you guys, I said to buy it now... that is, if the $200 more or $150 more was true. You guys have it at a pretty low price. (there, that's an advertisement)
Edit: As for ISTNC's Pre-Order-- I even said on a various posts that I would do the exact same thing.

Quite frankly, I dont care what Justin says or Eddie says, and what they have to say is pointless unless they can back up their comments. The same goes for the rest of the resellers that Post in these Forums. BACK UP your game or quietly retreat to your corner.

Hold on there. My reply was to Artek's post. I realize now that I should have quoted it like I have now done here.
I think everyone should wake up and listen to the SEVERAL seasoned resellers who have posted here saying repeatedly that the final specifications, pricing and release date have not yet been released by Asus...Period.
If Rick has pricing in writing, let him produce it.

Can we just drop this?
The z70va will come when it's ready, whether it's tomorow, next week or in a month.
We can't do anything, and this mess is developing in the wrong way at the wrong time.
I swear ASUS is laughing at us while playing around with the z70va's

I agree this is a pointless topic....the notebook will come when its ready, it should be here in time for Xmas and if a few extra fps are that important to you then why are you looking at this model anyway, there are better gaming machines out there. Additionally the X700 will drain the battery more...reducing the mobility aspect of the laptop.
How about we all move back onto the topic of discussing actual notebooks and their problems etc rather than having hypothetical fights.
