You ever tried to open your laptop? Had bad lack with a bunker-like model? Take a look at Tom's Hardware slide-show featuring Asus C90S and you will see there was no need to make it that way. It looks very often like the only reason for some screws to be there is to prevent you from opening it, right? But Asus is targeting an audience that just can't have it that way. Only four screws need to be removed to open the bottom cover, and from there, you have unrestricted access to Hard drive (lower right), SO-DIMM memory (lower center), the MXM2 graphics module (upper center) and the processor (upper right). You can also see at the top heat pipes conducting GPU and CPU heat to where the four fans in the back will cool the components.

The C90S uses the older 945P chipset but a newer version is due this summer featuring Intel’s “Bearlake” chipset.

Users can manually set the power mode between a fanless “quiet-mode,” the “power-saving” mode, and the gaming mode which will overclock the CPU 30 percent.

The barebone basic specs are:
    * Supports Intel Conroe Socket 775 processors up to 2.93 GHz.
    * 15.4" screen.
    * 2.0 Megapixel camera built-in.
