    Hey guys.

    Back the 15th of September I ordered a P775DM-3 with a GTX1070 from PC specialist. This order has since been delayed to the 8th, then the 15th, then the 18th and now the 1st of November due to supply problems (They lack the GTX1070 barebones and the US keyboard).

    PC specialist isn't telling me anything about the causes for these supply problems. Any of you guys know what's going on? Did the clevo factory catch fire or something? Shipping vessel sank along the way? Any other resellers having supply problems?

    Supply is subjective. We're not having any inventory issues on this machine, but we were on back order on one or two models awhile back when the new systems were released recently, as well as on a certain, popular LCD screen.

    Keep checking back with them. It could be their supplier (not sure if they buy from Clevo directly or not).

    This month is a mess. CLEVO had it´s production full so most of the companies are now waiting for re-stock. Most of the P6 versions are out of stock in Europe, should be available only by the end of the month.
    We lowered the prices for units with 6820HK which we have many in stock so we could keep selling, and we added clear messages in our configurators, it shows you which can be delivered immediatly and which are delayed and when to be expected to be back.

    PS. I just noticed you were talking about the P775, actually we never got out of these, but a lot of other shops did.
    Most of them should have got them back in stock this week, PCS got it yesterday.

    I'd say it's more the keyboard than anything else that's causing the delay. I'm sure UK/EU resellers stock few, if any, models with US spec so they have to special order one in, which probably ships on the slow boat from China.

    I know they ran out of the chassis, but have both the chassis and US keyboard in stock now. Might be worth contacting them to find out what the delay is
