I had one pre-ordered until yesterday. I called staples and they still had no official word from asus when their first shipment of transformers was coming in. I saw some of the grey CBIL ones on the FS website and jumped on one of those. It would have been great ti get a champagne transformer but again i don't really care as long as it performs well.

Why do people call it gold? It is silver. It is less gold than the amethyst is purple yet people refer to that as "gray." It looks like brushed aluminum and is why bought it. Looks great and is in perfect working order.

Well.. because it is called champagne gold? I haven't seen it in real life, but on the pictures it appears to be silver yes, strange they called it champagne gold.

My Champagne model from Abt is being delivered today. I also have a Gray from Best Buy, so I'll be comparing colors and will report back in.
