    So I checked newegg today and noticed that the "Add to cart" button was replaced by an "auto-notify" button. :( Anyone know how long it will take before newegg gets more in stock. I'm really hoping before the 18th since I move in on the 22nd

    Indeed, they have sold out.

    I am not sure, but I may have purchased one of the last ones.

    They ship from New Jersey, Kinda surprised me.

    I do hope they get them in soon, but we'll see. It all depends on Sony, I suppose.

    I hope you can get one before then. @_@ I know how you feel about time crunches, my college is about to start soon as well.

    Well I'm not surprised that they sold out, just wondering if anyone might know how long it takes for them to get more. After seeing the newegg price, I dont know if i could justify paying an extra $150 for the same thing

    They sold out today. This morning i added to my cart but i wasnt sure about they 13.3 so i ran to bestbuy to check out that size of laptop when i got back they had sold out :( so i just went with the fw. i was really wanting the larger screen any how :).. It may be a bit of a hassle carrying it around every ware though.

    I ordered that notebook (along with a few other things) on Friday, late at night. They said it takes 1-2 business days for my order to be processed, so as of now, it's still at the "submitted" stage. Does this mean that my order will be altered because the stock ran out?

    Hmm, my guess is probably not.

    If Newegg were smart, they would reserve one from their stock for that order, make sure it goes through, and then that person would get it. Like, a whole order system. That would be very unfair if they were like, Oh, you all have to wait... or we aren't getting these in stock again.

    Oh wow, congrats. O_O Mine is still in the first process. I hope it goes through... Or I'll be thoroughly disappointed.

    (Dang this stupid keyboard sensor is annoying me on this computer.)

    OH MAN.

    It has now been classified as a Deactivated Item.

    So that means there may not ever be something quite like that again! Man... That's really bad. D:

    Cross your fingers and hope Newegg finds something, but who knows.

    They prob wont have ones like they used to have..those were odd. The boxing was of the older kind and the protection around the computer was flimsy. also they didnt have the complete intel chipset with intel wifi.

    if im not mistaken the newegg one had an atheros wifi and thus did not qualify for the centrino 2 sticker. It did not come with intel wifi. i think thats the only difference

    I see. I just read wikipedia and it did mention the same thing. Will there be any difference in performance though (other than probably the signal) ?

    The description now says '802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN'. Is the '/n' an addition to it? Or is it still an old Wireless LAN card technology?

    Hmm, this is a very strange thing indeed.

    Last night it was saying deactivated. Strange...

    Mine is supposed to come on the 7th or the 8th.

    I think I'm going to be out of town that day. Oh hmm. D:

    You guys and all of your :( 's. I ordered mine, it shipped out, should of arrived on the 31st, UPS lost the package, and I'm still in the middle of a 7-10 day claim so I couldn't even have a new one shipped to me if I wanted. Such f***ing bs. I was having second thoughts anyways so I'm not that disappointed. ;)
