    im deciding between a c90 and a g1s laptop currently, and i know i can customize the c90 to the same config as a g1s for around the same price, but the thing is, i dont know how to assemble a laptop and i really want the c90 over the g1s because im not really for the gaming look in the g1s. im not sure what to get
    are there any retailers that assemble the c90 for you?

    assembling should be pretty easy IMO. There should also be resellers that do it for you (don't know any name now, sorry)

    Be sure to get the 256MB GDDR3 videocard with the c90, NOT the 512MB one. Otherwise your c90 will be less powerful than the g1s!

    gentechpc.com offers free assembly and even throws in a FREE 160GB hard-drive if you buy a fully configured C90s.

    Their rep, KEN is actually a member here who has been more than helpful to the community.

    I just ordered my C90s from them and had a phone conversation with Ken as well. Everything seems to be in order. I will hold my final judgement until after I've received the laptop and tested it for a few days but so far I feel like I'm in good hands.
