Erin over at Computer Shopper has a video tour of the Asus C90s, a user-upgradeable laptop with desktop components that you can take apart yourself. What this means to you is that you'll actually be able to extend the life of this gaming laptop without having to take it into the store and have others upgrade for you (as long as you have a little computer knowhow). Check out the video for more. [Computer Shopper]

Remember that user upgradeable Asus notebook we showed you before? The guys at PC Perspective got some one-on-one time with the C90 during Computex, and we now know that the laptop will start at $1,500. It'll come with eSATA, HDMI and your choice of a standard DVD burner or high-def optical drive. Updating the system's CPU will be as easy as upgrading your desktop's processor and GPU upgrades will be just as easy with Nvidia 8600 and 8500 options. We can't wait to see this baby in the States. – Louis Ramirez

Asus C90 Will Be First User Upgradeable Lappie

Because of the way laptops are built, most people don't upgrade their notebooks like they do their desktop. Well, Asus is trying to change that with their new C90 gaming laptop. Everything from the lappie's CPU to its high-def optical drive will be user upgradeable. Asus says you'll even be able to pop out the system's graphics card and install a new one all within minutes. Spec-wise, the C90 will be the first to include HDMI 1.3 and....

an ESATA port. Not to mention it'll be packing an upgradeable Core 2 Duo CPU and a mystery video card. Upgradeable components, HDMI, mystery video card? We're sold. The notebook is expected to debut sometime next month.
