Since one of the reasons for going for this laptop was to be take it on holiday so I could transfer photos/videos from my digital camera/camcorder then free up space on the SD card for more photos/videos, I decided enough was enough. I've therefore cancelled the order. I'd sooner pay an extra £60 for the Asus EeePC, at least I can pick it up straightaway from a retail outlet or within a couple of days if I buy off the internet. Shame to miss out on this but I really can't be doing with so much messing about. Best of luck to those with more patience than me.

I phoned them today to understand the 'confusion' The original email said that they would not ask for final payment until they had the goods to ship - then we had to allow up to 28 days for delivery (fair enough) - now to be told they do not have the stock - this is miss selling. I called (and spoke to a human) and was promised a call from the MD - I did not get one - I will call again tomorrow and if i cannot speak to the MD I will get his home phone number from companies house.. and will be happy to list it here. If they have made a mistake - tell us - this happens with new products, but to lie and put up a smoke screen is unacceptable. I still think thus could be an excellent machine (one and onet) but the lack of clarity is beginning to put the offer ar risk. If everyone that ordered one canceled the order I suspect Elonex would be make bankrupt. Overall they way Elonex are managing this situation is not good Here we go…just 3 days before the 28 days delivery an email from elonex….. due to overwhelming interest…… your order will now be delivered before the end of August…. so the 28 days is now way out of the window.
