My U330 could be shipped this Monday, 8/22!

i'm excited! it will be my first real laptop (Asus EEEPC sucks). I've been scrounging about for lappies but this one with its specs and screen width beat out all the other contestants.

stay tuned for a review!

 

Good Luck and keep us posted. Looking forward to it.

 

ahhhh I HOPE they get them out the door!!! that would make my day.

 

lol..TOO excited with the date, huh? My scheduled date is 9/22 also.
I know what u mean... 9/22 is so important to be ignored !!!

 

Good luck with that. Just talked to a sales rep, who told me that all orders are delayed further into Mid-October, due to the world wide battery shortage.

 

I just called and was told the week of October 2nd.
ordered mine 8/20 if that helps

LOL I am supposed to attend a "Wireless Laptop Session" to "setup" my laptop for school the 26th... ha. guess i ll just have to miss that one.

 

Sorry, but you won't be seeing your U330 for a long time.

 

Probably will see it sometime in December or January.

 

Haha.. no joke. I bet I'll get my Microsoft Cashback before I even get the laptop.

 

I'm pretty sure MS would just cancel the cashback, as the order obviously hasn't been charged. Who knows though.

 

Ive been told oct 2nd about 3 times now. One assured me it would not be pushed back any further.... soooo i hope it will get here then.

 

I've heard that one before. lol

 

I'm organizing a safari to Africa to work the rare laptop battery mines. Who's with me?

 

watch out for the endangered lenovo website monkeys.... they will kill you with mistakes.

 

how come there are so many delays if at website says shipping within 1 or 2 weeks??? =S

 

I was just told mine has been delayed until October 6th and they have no clue at this point when the first U330's will ship. They stated that any date given, is relatively meaningless as the server automatically revises the shipping date according to the estimated ship date on the website.

The only thing keeping me from canceling my order is that there isn't a laptop out there that has all these features in one package and of course the price. However if a deal does pop up on a close competitor I'll jump ship.

I don't like Lenovo's business practice of selling a laptop with false shipping information. Delay or not currently the website states one to two weeks and this is far from the truth.

 

I'm starting to wish I went with the M1330... hopefully it actually DOES ship on October 6th.

 

Wasn't an option for me, as I don't want to even deal with the Nvidia card issue.

 

Ya. Just facing the "needed laptop for this quarter" problem.

 

So, if Lenovo does miss the shipping date, what then..?

Has anyone had any success in demanding free upgrades/discounts/expedited shipping, etc? Seems like they would have some incentive to keep you from canceling the order.

 

Man it would be worth a shot.
I say give us an extra battery that would go over well with the lack of them.
