    Hello,

    Just curious if anyone else pre-ordered last week at Amazon? They said they'd have them today but I see on their site today it says they are temporarily out of stock.

    I gave up on Monday - cancelled the order. Ordered it for the same price elsewhere. UPS shipping shows mine will arrive tomorrow.

    I just got it - very light! I admit I didn't think I'd like it but I love the fingerprint logon. Battery was dead on arrival. Has a magnet to keep the lid closed as it seems to swing too easily not to do that. Seemed to rev fans at first - haven't used it long enough to know much more. It doesn't come with a Samsung drive, so I'm replacing it now as I needed a bigger drive anyways. I noticed it doesn't have 2 fans so I'm guessing the cheaper one doesn't have an NVidia GPU - which is fine with me as I don't plan on video editing or doing any gaming on it. Every time I pick it up I feel like I must have forgotten to attach the battery (old school I know).

    I've only had this an hour so I have no idea if the laptop is any good yet but if it is, it is a game changer (IMHO) I haven't been this excited about a laptop since the Sony vaio Z 13" about a decade or so ago.
