It's been pushed back again. It's on the laptop page though, RTX 2070 card and other info.... everything except the price.

Alex? Do you know the price?

Do you know when they’re shipping? One email says 10-15 days which 15 days from my purchase date would be 5/6 but then I saw something that said 5/17 so I’m confused.
You are not prepared.

It’s so hard 😫 I just wasn’t aware that this laptop was a new release when I ordered it so, I didn’t know if there was an official release date or what.

And details on the chassis?  Ports available details, slots, etc?  I've looked at the listing but not finding the info.  Is it a Clevo where we can find the details that way?

The specs section on both the Avon and Nova have all the details of the ports/slots, etc...

These are not Clevo based designs, they are custom made for us.

Nice! Does that mean that support for them will be handled in-house rather than getting shipped out?

Yes, 100% in-house, all the way down to the individual hardware such as the motherboard, display, etc. is all replaced and serviced by our team. We stock units that we use for warranty service.

Found those. Thanks.

What about internal specs?  M.2 slots, any drive bays, DIMM slots & accessibility, etc.?

yes actually. With the release of windows 1903 your avon will automatically download Sound Blaster Cinema 5. Enable that and you get 5x volume and much clearer audio from integrated speakers and wired headphones.
