So the rest of the world that can't order it is just never going to be able to buy it probably.

Feels bad man, living in one those shitty regions.

Yeah, same.. Except I live in one of the best countries in the world and yet can't pre-order despite the fact that anyone outside my country for hundres of miles is able to.
Sometimes I really wish we were part of the EU :/

I was lucky to get the confirmation around 10:02AM pacific

Had mine ordered at 11mins past (damn you errors!), got Q1 ><

Wasnt (still not) sure I wanted it, but knew it would be hell to get so figured Id order and make up my mind later.

Mine still says Q1. Thankfully we'll get them before summer...

So, hang on, this means a WHOLE YEAR'S lead time?! :eek:

That's completely ridiculous. New models come out in that time, more demanding games come out, the world changes etc. The possibility of waiting until 2023 takes ridiculous to a whole new level. If I was in the market for one of these, I certainly wouldn't bother.

This really seems like a shitty idea, running PC games with awful performance hardware and low battery life.

I agree, by the time it's out they're going to be better options. Probably more expensive but better hardware.

Like gen 2 Aya Neo with similar specs but 8 CPU cores , hyper threading and configurable tdp.

The lucky was that you didn't get locked out. Seems like most people who say they got locked out say, "I was locked out after trying to get in at 1 PM EST" while the people who got in all say, "I got my confirmation at 10 AM PST." Weird, huh? Valve, put some servers on the East Coast.
