Is the Atheros wireless card really gonna be that bad?

[cknobman]

FYI for those who ordered the CW from BestBuy. I ordered mine Sunday morning and used regular shipping. They gave me an estimated delivery date of 1/25 - 1/27. I checked my order this morning and it already has left the warehouse and is in transit. UPS tracking says it will be delivered on 1/21.

Not to shabby.

Cant wait to get this baby in and play with it.

What puzzle me is the fact Bestbuy has the Nvidia 330m w/ 1600x900 CW laptop for under $1000.00.

Buy.com, JR.com and even newegg has it for over 1050.00.

Sonystyle don't even offer that configuration at all. wierd.

I buy their extended warranty before with the Washer & Dryer and TV in the past, pretty good.

It used to be a good deal but now they upped the prices on them and changed the 3 repair get a new one policy. No longer worth it.

just got mine from the ups man few minutes ago. Let you guys know what wireless comes with the 330m as soon as i find out.

edit: AR9285 wireless. will have to see if its possible to switch to intel.

What sort of warranty / accidental damage coverage did they offer (if any)?

I think the bestbuy deal is great, but I definitely want a 3 year warranty.

Sad the CW does not support Intel Wireless Display Networking
