Question 1

Why does this say sold out? The Aib's are supposed to launch on the 29th.

Accepted Answer

All of the newest model GPU's and CPU's are currently very hard to find (for purchase) for four primary reasons: 
1. Manufacturers are being hit hard by Covid-19 in their ability to mass produce these items
2. Major and Minor Retailers along with other resellers (ahem, "SCALPERS" as they are known) have the funds and resources to get their hands on mass quantities of them and are often using purchasing bots (automated computer systems) to immediately get their hands on them and then greedily resale them at 2-5x MSRP price. (Manufacturers don't care where their money comes from as long as they get it).
3. Covid-19 is effectively forcing everyone to stay indoors and thus they want to have something to do so they turn to video games or similar task heavy processes and are building computers to achieve this and want these parts for as little money spent as possible (cheapest go first)
4. It is the Christmas Holiday season, meaning it's cold outside and most stay indoors to be warm, and everyone wants to receive these items or buy these items as gifts for Christmas so they can do that in comfort

Other possible factors not so obviously: Everyone who is into computer building, for whatever reason, knows these parts are hard to acquire or come by and react accordingly, nabbing whatever they can as fast as they can

Summary: Don't expect to find these parts easily unless you are willing to pay heavily to greedy individuals for them, and if you find a way to get yourself one, don't hesitate to do so.

Is the length correct at 320 mm? On ASUS web site they list it as 320mm, but also as 13" (which is actually 330mm). Just wondering what is the correct length.
