The product itself looks very interesting, but Samsung is horrible at product launches. I've just bought the new Haswell Macbook Air and am interested in possibly returning it and getting the Ativ Book 9 Plus. I thought that samsung.com would have availability information and more detailed specs, but it's not even mentioned anywhere. In fact, such information isn't available anywhere.

This is (very sadly) par for the course for pretty much everyone but Apple. The same thing happens with any sort of smartphone, any new ultrabooks, etc. I'm guessing this also comes without a price tag or launch date. "Cool story Samsung".
Yep. Over the past couple of months I got my mom a new All-In-One Windows machine, and while I was shopping a Lenovo A520 was by far the front runner. Listed on Amazon (out of stock), listed on multiple product pages on the Lenovo website (Lenovo phone sales: "Keep checking back"), and a month or so later it just disappeared without so much as a wimper. It was launched in October 2012. Dell deserved my money in the way a hobo who deserves my change is the one not threatening to hurt me.
