    Ok so I am probably going to get an HP 6000t or 9000t sometime tonight. I like the price and the look. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have the intel wireless card with abg and N, just abg.

    I know NOTHING about taking a laptop apart so that only leaves buying a card to plug into the slot to give me N. It this possible as is this worth it? I read that you need 3 antenna to make good use of N and I think those models only have 2. Or am I wrong??

    Thanks a lot everyone, great website.

    Do you have, or plan on getting a wireless N router anytime soon? Sure there is increased range and speed, but for normal use within your home you typically won't find yourself in need of more than G speeds.
