    I am set to purchase my first laptop in the next couple of months and the C90 is my top choice. I know I will need to choose a processor, hard drive, memory and an operating system in addition to the barebones laptop, but is there anything else I am leaving out? On MilestonePC.com it does not list the wireless-n adapter in the description. Will I need to get one? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    For barebones, you need:

    Hard Drive <- Probably SATA
    RAM <- PC5300 667mhz I assume
    CPU <- E_____ Conroe Processor
    Wireless Card <- I assume its mini-PCI, however...no idea
    OS <- Obviously

    The full specs and details of the C90 have yet to be released, so it's all assumed from what I've seen and heard.

    I sent MilestonePC an email yesterday, but have not got a response yet. I will post what they say once I do get it.

    On milestone it says it had bluetooth built in, I had jumped to the conclusion that that would mean wifi as well, but that was a rather unknowledged conclusion is suppose, I guess we have to wait and see.

    barebones ONLY includes video card if it says so. If it does not say one is included and it seems cheap then one is not. c90 series will come with intel 4965 wifi card which replaces the current 3945. the replacemed has pre-N...i think

    Thanks for the insight. I was just a little confused since the initial specs showed wireless-n was included. I'd rather not have to pony up the extra cash, but I guess time will tell.
