Quote from jackbauer24 : is this a good deal on a used zen book? http://sandiego.craigslist.org/cs...37076.html same model on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Zenbook-Pri...B00863L2PK

Quote from demons1ayer : It seems like I'm the only unlucky bastard in this thread that got the crappy sandisk SSD. I'm wondering if I should try and get an exchange. Other than the inferior SSD, this laptop is pretty much my dream machine. 13" form factor, ultrabook, 1920x1080, backlit keyboard... Truly amazing specs for the $670 (plus tax that I paid).

I also received the lesser drive. I haven't noticed any sub-par performance yet in general use. Extracting large archives seems like it's slower than it should be though... not sure if it's in my head or a result of the Sandisk.

I wish I would have gotten the ADATA but ah well.

Quote from ashu66 : why in the hell you need 1080p on 13.3"?? that is over kill. you will need magnifying glass to read the content. the optimum size for 1080p is 15.6" or may be 16". For 13.3" laptop, 1080p is just insane.

how about 2560 x 1440 on a 10" screen?

Thanks for posting this deal. IT sucks that we got suck with the inferior SSD's, though. I have a question. Does your charger plug fit loose in the port? Mine doesn't snap in and can be pulled out easily.

It seems like there's two "notches" in it. The first notch clicks and it charges, but I push it in a bit more and it locks in place.

If it's in all the way and it's still doesn't lock or anything, that seems unusual.

Wow, Buy.com really filled out their listing. When I bought mine, it was basically "Recertified ASUS UX31A" with no specs, pictures, or anything else.

Quote from DjReDDiMiX : This seems to be going in and out of stock, just placed an order for one.

Where did you order? Buy.com or eBay?

Is anyone else's order stuck in processing? its been about 36 hours since I placed the order

Quote from thebateman89 : Is anyone else's order stuck in processing? its been about 36 hours since I placed the order

YES! Mine too... They emailed me saying there was an issue with the address attached to my credit card. It in fact was the wrong address though and I changed the problem and they sent me back an email saying that they are moving it to the shipping dept... but my order still says processing. If this falls through, I'm going to be really really upset. My credit card also says pending though, so I'm really really hoping I didn't mess something up... The email did say not to re-order and that there will be a week window on the computer though...

Quote from encg : Where did you order? Buy.com or eBay?

Ordered from buy.com. I assume someone cancelled their order, which allowed me to order one.

How do you guys check which SSD is inside?

It's in stock via Buy.com again now at 8:31 EST ($649).

I want this!
I keep checking back to see if its in stock, but so far no luck.
I added it to my cart yesterday@11:00AM PST but was too slow getting through checkout.

They're supposed to send me email alerts when it's back in stock, however I only received the one alert yesterday morning :S

Any insight to help my timing? Or is it just F5 until you're lucky?...

Pretty sure its just getting lucky... This deal is a few days old now so its anyone's guess as to when they will get another.

I got an email around 6am EST this morning and ordered when I woke up about 25 minutes later. Keep checking!

Order still says processing... ordered at 1:27 PM friday. Just emailed CS, will try to figure out what's going on.
