I just called TigerDirect--the rep said they had shipments coming in Nov. 9th and Nov. 16th and that they had already received one shipment which has gone out. That seems consistent with what they've been saying all along. Hopefully mine will come out this week--I'll post when I get a tracking number.

Hey guys,

I am one of the many that are eager to buy this notebook. I have read around 50 pages of this conversation, but I still have a question. On amazon.co.uk I saw they are selling NP700Z5A-S03 for heck of a lot of money....and it seems to have the same parameters as the NP700Z5A-S01UK that we all await atm. So my question is - is there a difference in between these, or Amazon are earning on the high demand?



Cheers!

Just spoke to the Microsoft Store, and they assured me that my laptop would be shipped by Friday (15.6 inch).....

Also call, and request free shipping. I've been laptopless why I wait, so I was able to get a few dollars back.

That's not being sold direct by Amazon, that's someone offering to ship one from Germany for you. Presumably they've set the price high to capitalise on the lack of stock in the UK.

As for now there are no different screen batches, every Laptop tested and the Laptops already delivered have all the same screen according to the internal screen number.

Well, the problem isn't the screen's number, the problem is the quality of some of the screens themselves. They have a QA problem for the initial run of a new product. Have you never heard of such things?

I can't believe that so many people are stunned that a brand new product has teething issues. It has *always* been the case that sensible people wait a bit until after a new product is released, as it often takes a while to get everything ironed out. It has always been a standard expectation that "early adopters" often pay a premium for the privilege of taking a risk. If anybody reading this does not know this already, well, write it down, tape it to your bathroom mirror, and study it first thing each morning. There will be way less stress and strain on your nervous system in the future.

Anybody who has been in ongoing agony about this laptop's screen should look up the definition of two words: "perspective" and "neurotic". A very few folks here just might need a shrink more than they need a new laptop.

You don't have to convince me, I already have the laptop and I can live with the screen
I also bought the Galaxy S2 right when it was released, so nothing new for me

I called the MS store again today. Rep I spoke with said there was no issue with the Series 7. He said they are in stock and will ship out right away (14" at least). He said the mix-up might have been with the Slate as there was a concern with that device.

My order from Tigerdirect just got shipped today.
