    I ordered my m570ru last week here in Holland.. Got a G card instead of a N card with it too. They told me two days ago that if I really wanted the N card I would have to wait another 3+ weeks. As compensation they gave me a 120GB 7200rpm HD instead of a 100GB 7200rpm HD.

    But still, I can't say I'm not happy with a 120GB HD instead of a 100GB. And we don't have wireless N at home or at the university, only wireless G. Plus, upgrading to the wireless N card if I ever want to will only cost me 30 euros max.

    oh ok.....well, use the wireless card with your G router (im assuming) and see if you like it.Unless you are willing to buy an N router then you might as well cough up a little more and get the n card from xotic. otherwise, g is just fine for most of us.
