supposing the 3rd of March date is a firm one (how many chances it is?), it could be useful to know how big the backlog is... I'd like to order an elimina for example, but if there are 200 people or 10 people in the waiting list can make a huge difference on my decision (if there are too many, the stocks could exhaust before, even, which could mean waiting other X months)

Nothing is concrete at the moment at all, it's literally impossible to give any firm dates on any tech stocks at the moment.
Please read the forum stickies before making any posts as it's all outlined in those.

Well at least the vast majority of people in the internet blame everybody buying Intel 10th as of now because "Zen3 is so much better!11!".
So don't expect a backlog as huge as if they sold Zen3 laptops, for example.
I'm one of the those buying those Intel Laptops as of now btw: for gaming they are straight the same (8 cores vs 8 cores): slightly better single core Zen3 equals lack of AMD of offering PCIe x16 to the GPU, for once.
(for productivity I'm gonna loose 15-20% but I'll have my boy 6 months before actually Zen3 are available here)
Well, the sticky threads here seem to be all about benchmarking, and I could not find what I wanted to know by a quick look around, so I asked

This is one subforum, you need to look through each sub forum.
yeah, silly of me to expect an answer concerning buying a laptop in the subforum called... *checks* Laptops/Notebook sales advice... 
Also, my question was more about the waiting list than the firmness of the date... I'm fine to wait if it's a matter of some sliding weeks, I'm less fine to put an order if they'll get (random numbers) 200 items with a 2000 people in the waiting list.
I wasn't expecting precise numbers, just some gross estimates about the expectations, as they're in this business for so long and they might have a feeling of this.

1. you’re asking a forum full of people who don’t work for PCS. We can’t answer those questions.
2. as with any forum, you agree to read the stickies before posting, and obviously haven’t, and all these questions are answered in those stickies.
Heads up. Looks like shipping delays may take a bit longer. My 5 day update has slipped again this morning to 8th March.

Thank you for saying that, because I stopped receiving those update after the first batch of email delays. I think if pallets are delivered in the store at March 3rd, it's pretty common they need some time to unbox them and start queuing up each pre-order. So 8th should still be fine, aka, cargo should still be planned to ship in their store on March 3rd..
Can you remind me the date of your pre-order? Mine was 27th Jan. Might be some people between me (whose last email was assembly the 3rd March) and you..

Looks like the "out of stock" and 3rd March notifications have been taken off the some of the laptop pages (eg Defiance and Ionico, both 15" and 17"). Stock arrived early???

Same here, now just a matter of getting through that order queue.

Can confirm. That's what I got for my Ionico 17 ordered Jan 27th:
My order needs also an Italian keyboard, I don't know if that might delay the assembly, though (maybe it's the same P/N from Vyper last year)
Yes, we have received this model now 🙂 and your order should be moving shortly, I have no estimated building date yet

Hoping that the laptops will not be hold on arrival by customs because of covid/brexit. Mine is still scheduled for departure on Monday thanks to my express mounting option and I chose next day delivery. Crossing fingers
