It was processed(payment received) on May 6th.

Woot, ive been processed since the 29th so hopefully ~5 days for me.

That's weird...

The only thing I can think of is that they have some 580m stock left over that they need to get rid of, but they must know that anybody who knows isn't going to pay an extra $200 (over the 675m) for the exact same card.

People who don't know better will. It seems like a desperate attempt to clear stock. Unfortunately for them someone who knows them probably also knows enough about the graphics card scene. Only AW can get away with that sort of rubbish.

I placed my order on May 7th from Xoticpc. They won't charge me until they have all the parts but I hope they get it to me fast as yours.

So then I can guesstimate about 7 days.

my hope of getting this baby before memorial day still lives on

Well, I placed my order with xoticpc on April 30th, so I sincerely hope I'm at least not at the bottom of the line... doesn't sound like it.

It sure is tempting to cancel my order and get an M17x R4 in a week and a half instead, though. Particularly since the price difference is so minimal. I'm sticking with xoticpc until Wednesday and if I don't hear something by then I'm jumping ship. I need a laptop sooner rather than later, and my intense dislike of Dell unfortunately is overridden by that need So you guys can rejoice that there'll be once less person ahead of you if that happens, at least.

So does it mean that ETA late May means that they just start building at that time which will take another 10 days shipping another 3-5 days. So I will receive unit around end of June? Am I right - -? Why this takes so long....

[bn880]

So far it looks like they want to start shipping them late May. If they have stock on time they'll be building them very soon. There's just a waiting line as usual though.

The suspense is killing me!!!! Ordered mine May 8 from xoticpc, but I'm getting it skinned sooo I'm thinkin' I need something else to take my mind off of this. ;-D

I ordered from Xoticpc on April 24th but didn't pay yet, hopefully that doesn't put me at back of the line

Skinned, eh? I got mine with no branding whatsoever. I dunno why, but I totally love the idea of a notebook with *no* branding on it whatsoever! People will see me using it at a coffee shop or something and be like, "Whoa, what kind of notebook is that?! It had no symbols, no names, no nothing! It's just a plain black notebook! HOW CAN THAT EXIST!?! MY MIND IS BREAKINNGGG!!!"

At least, that's what I imagine peoples' reactions will be. Still, it's cool. Clevo/Sager with no branding is the true ninjabook.
