Intel Launched Laptops with Arc Graphics, but nothing is available

With a lot of marketing and virals, Intel has launched (not announced) its Arc Graphics-based laptops. The reality however is that these products are nowhere to be found. 



The release said that at least the entry-level Arc 3-series GPU types will be accessible immediately in commonly available laptops. The Arc A350M and Arc A370M are two of these GPU models. People on social media are starting to question Intel why these laptops aren't available, and the company has answered.

In a response Intel Support stated that laptops with Arc will be available "by the end of the second quarter of 2022." This would put general availability in June/August 2022, two to three months from now.

Update: Intel just rushed out the following tweet.

Apologies for the confusion, we had incorrect information. Samsung systems with Intel Arc graphics are available now in Korea and will scale to other regions. Additional OEMs in other regions will have systems in the coming weeks.
