Bro, I am in the same boat and could have written the same thing myself. But! There is some hope as of yesterday! A listing for the 388H version popped up on Amazon ( and for only 2479$ USD ?! ).. it doesn’t ship for 3-5 weeks but I purchased and will report back if they cancel on me or something . https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Zenbook-Display-Graphics-Included/dp/B0GPT65PKB/ref=ast_sto_dp_puis?ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.56967336-fc74-42b5-a5cc-2336016631b4 One more thing: Best Buy added a listing for the 388H one on their site just 3-4 days ago and it says “Coming Soon”.
US Stock update: 386 model has been available via BestBuy, Amazon, and Asus for a while now ( occasionally sold out for a few days but seems to come back ). AFAIK the 388H model has never been in stock in US via amazon, best buy, or asus. However, I just saw best buy now has a 388H listing added in the last few days with 'Coming Soon' listed. ( Best Buy 388H Listing ) Then today, I saw amazon has a listing up finally for the 388H model via the ASUS amazon store, and most fun: it's listed at 2488 USD! ( the 386 generally is 2499, and 388 should be 2699 MSRP ) ( Amazon 388H listing ). It says it won't arrive for 3-5 weeks lol, but I pulled the trigger! Wish me luck, and good luck to anyone else who tries.
