    I can't find any good links to where to get these models.

    Also, does the c90 have issues or is it becuase theres just so many choices in setup that people are having issues?

    I checked. No G1s-1b. BUT they did have something called a ASUS V1S-B1. Is that the lambo? Doesnt look like it, but besides looking different than the g1s, its configured the same as far as I can tell.

    The v1s is a different system than the g1s. The v1s is the same same thing as the Lamborghini (aka vx2), but with a different case, larger hard drive, and Vista Ultimate. You can upgrade everything in the v1s (except for the case) to make it equal to the vx2. If you haven't considered the v1s you might want to start.

    Here are a few places that sell the g1s-b1:

    You could also talk to the g1s-a1 sellers about getting you the g1s-b1 if that is the way you decide to go (as they should all be capable of acquiring it for you).

    Thanks! If I go with the B1 at least Zipzoom has it. I ordered from them b4 so I know I can trust them.

    I got my Asus G1S-A1 from PC Cyber. They were the cheapest place around me and they are very good with customer service. The store is not very known internationally, but in Ottawa, they are one of the biggest independently owned computer stores. They do carry the B1 as well.
