    Is this the EXACT same thing (other than outside branding) as the C90S? Same BIOS, same hardware, etc?

    I might just buy it off of Circuit City, because the return policy from them is quite easy at my local store, and I can bring anything back if anythings wrong.

    It is about the same exact price as my C90S that may or may not ship this week or next.

    Also, can I apply these new BIOS updates that Ken from GenTech has been getting?

    Thanks in advance for the answers,

    Dan

    i dont even have that "brand" of the asus c90s and i know 100% that the answer is yes to all of those


    although, i used to work at circuit city and there is a restocking fee for returned opened computers - unless its an open box item (which this wouldn't be). however you can exchange for the same thing, and then return it unopened ofcourse. and if they don't have it at your local store, they will order if from online and probably take a day or 2 and then you can exchange

    no branding on the outside just an interior sticker but they provide on for the webcam opposite that says asus;

    vista is a nice operating system it was kinda fun to get lost in it fora few hours;

    i got the x20 but if you want to upgrate just get the x25 and save more money;

    the onl issue is i dont have an operating system cd since it was preinstalled; and that would be even cooler;

    also the application for the video driver is lackluster;

    xp cool but vista is better; but they both good and equal: vista cool step out

    I've been so busy gaming with mine that I didn't even notice this thread!

    Of course the main concern with the VM is the assembly quality and parts used, I can verify that both are good. I'm happy with mine and have read other positive experiences about this laptop online.
