    Yeah Chunghwa got one that slipped out from Lynnbay, but for pretty much everyone else, Monday is the earliest they will be arriving. Prepare to be bombarded with reviews soon =O

    I don't actually think we'll see a lot of reviews. people are pretty reluctant around here sometimes.

    I think if you don't see many reviews, it is so good that people will just want to use it and whatnot.

    If you see loads of reviews, then people are probably unhappy and want to rant about it.

    That's how I see it.

    OR

    temps are so high that people don't want to talk about the fact they've waited so long for a laptop you can fry eggs on. :eek:

    You should know what people on this forum are like; as soon as something goes wrong, you know about it.

    unless if they feel embarrassed about not doing their research and/or was being impulsive making a purchase that was not well-thought out. ;)

    LOL. yeah I guess though I would be cheesed if after waiting 5 months for a laptop it doesn't perform as well as I though it would. I'd probably sulk around for a bit and not post anything. lol. :(

    I just cant wait any more!!

    I there are some pieces out people who have them please post a review asap

    I am too eager to wait. So high are my expectations for this great lappy on paper. Wonder how it actually performs. So do post some reviews.

    At the least an initial comment would also be great if not a through review!

    Read the Official M860TU Owner's thread. Chunghwa and Justin N. have both posted impressions and pictures and 3D Mark scores.
