    And I'm from Lisbon too, but now living in London. Lisbon is much better! :) But in London, they do have more brands of beer!!!! Ahahaha... Just kidding!

    Nice laptop, liked everything about it, except the keyboard, it isn't much sensitive, sometimes doesn't tipe the letters, I thought the "," button didn't work, but then I discovered I wasn't pressing hard enought...

    I don't know... Hopefully sometime during next week! We will see...

    @Asoo- Good to hear from your experience mate. It does sound good. I really like the fact that you can take it around and still looks pretty professional and, most importantly, low profile. I guess it hides what it carries inside pretty well! :)

    Perfect temps... :)
    The HDD could run cooler, but it's OK.
    What an amazing laptop this turned out to be... it does wonders with one fan.
    AMAZING...

    Me to! Rock delayed again! Demanding compensation from them now as i'm sick and tired of these constant delays. Its probably slightly unlucky on my part while they were forced to move, but this still is not acceptable. To not have the laptop about 6-7 weeks after ordering and almost 1 month after the first date i was given for dispatch!

    i don't like Kobalt's delays either. about 50% of my schoolwork involves computer and internet. i do have internet and ps3, but what i don't have is computer, so how should i do my homework?

    Keep cool guys, as much as I am impatient to get my hands on mine I'm pretty sure there's no master plan to keep us delayed, just that being the first month of this nice notebook I'm sure the demand is far above the supply everyone gets from clevo. Afterall as usual the US market will get their stuff ahead of any euro reseller be it kobalt, rock or whatever.

    Actually i'm waiting for M570TU, but it doesn't matter. And yes it's better to wait now and get decent laptop rather than hurry and later send it back to a warranty

    Hi

    As mentioned above we have been very busy over the last month so sorry for not popping in here more often.

    Good to see that those of you what have youe laptops are happy and those who haven't will be recieving theirs asap.

    There have been a few niggles with the eta dates for which I appologise - we had quite serious issues with RAM which is sorted now but that delayed some peoples orders a little.

    As mentioned above we Europeans always have to wait longer than N America - the actual availability of the chassis was 3 weeks after anyone expected as well (i.e resellers didn't get the chassis until 3 weeks after expected) so the fact that it's the launch of a brand new product hasn't helped matters for anyone.
