    Does the iBUYPOWER Battalion 101 CZ-8 Ultra 2 come with a wireless card? In the specifications link,(the one with the wrench symbol above the 'Live Help' button) it says "Supports Intel® PCI-Express mini card 4965 & 3945" that sounds like its not included... The 4965 would be the one I would want because it is N-compatible, but there is no option that lets me choose a wireless card on the website. If I do need to buy one separately, does anyone know where I can find them cheaper than here? Also, is there anything else they don't include? Thanks

    That laptop comes with a "[Free !!!] Wireless 802.11 a/b/g 3945 Mini-Card"(look on the second page when configuring under 'Internal Wireless Network Adapter ')

    Its a rebranded Compal JFL92(aka Sager NP2092)...Look at the FAQ in the Compal or Sager forum for more sellers of that laptop(they might not be cheaper but they would be more reputable- Ibuypower reseller rating v. Powernotebooks.com RR or XoticPC.com RR(both of these companies also have reps on the forum that are active members...)

    If you havent already, fill out the FAQ so that we can help you better(make sure post the FAQ in the 'what notebooks should I buy forum')
