Got my C90S!!! Very happy with one minor question

Got my C90S today.

I would like to ask all online sellers to strictly avoid using UPS and save their buyers a lot of headache. UPS is truly the most incompetent corporate I've ever dealt with.

I got my C90s from Gentechpc.com and so far I'm extremely happy with their service. Ken Lee (Gentech) has been very accommodating and certainly helpful to all of us.

The laptop is exactly what I expected with a few easter-eggs to make the experience even better.

I just got one problem. Why is the Wifi card's driver not being detected? I even installed the drivers from Intel's site for 4965(a/b/g/n) and it still say's "no drivers installed". Gotta play around with this to get it working.

Other than that, everything is working (under XP PRO )

Thank you Gentech and thank you NBR for all the great posts that helped me make my final decision. This laptop is everything I wanted for half of what I expected to pay.

I remember when they first were being shipped, ups drove me crazy. Kept driving up and down my street. Everyong else got a package, but not me. What do you mean by the card not being detected, is it not showing up in device manager or what?

 

Hi Synthetic, I ordered a C90S too two days ago from Gentech over a G1S-A1 from Newegg after reading the reviews from this site. Looks like our system specs are nearly identical! How many days did it take for them to ship it? So far I've waited two days, although I opted for them to install all the hardware.

 

Maybe you have an atheros wireless card like me in your C90? Check the drivers at asus support site!

 

I have XP Pro and the Intel 4965 card. I just installed the software and drivers from Intel and everything seems to be working fine.

 

After being a loader at UPS working there for over 18 months, I always insure what i am shipping or go through another company.

 

So you are happy and keeping the laptop lamscott ??


Regarding UPS, note that Fedex does not provide insurance:

fedex is just as bad as ups. i just got a package yesterday that was shipped on the 17th.

 

Yep! Thanks for all the advice dude. Everything seems perfectly fine with it now and it runs like a dream. Its getting its first run in a club setting tomorrow night when I DJ with it.

 

I'm glad it workeed out. It can now only get better as you optimise it further
