Mine shipped from Shanghai on 10/26 with an estimated delivery of 10/29 at 4:30pm. When I checked the evening of 10/27 it was in transit from Shanghai. By the morning of 10/28, it was in a FedEx "desk facility," and somehow it was delivered at 9:12am on 10/28. I was more than happy. AND I didn't pay for expedited shipping.
When the estimate was 10/29th by 4:30pm, I thought "Why didn't I pay for expedited shipping, it probably will won't come until Monday" - so be optimistic. Mine came a day and 1/2 early.
I got the 11.6", 1.6, with 4G memory, 128G flash drive and I'm impressed with it so far (although I would have liked the 256G).
The screen is beautiful - it's as good as my 2006 ACD (30"). Same intensity of color - pixels not visible.
