Conclusions

C90P will be a very high-end gaming laptop, with options that even high-end desktops don’t have out-of-the-box, like HDMI output, Bluetooth and fingerprint recognition. Its optional support for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs is simply amazing, allowing you to watch hi-def movies on your laptop – and you can easily hook up the laptop to a big screen TV through its HDMI port, making it also the perfect multimedia machine.

We saw a demo of its overclocking capability and it found it really interesting, as after you have configured your preferred overclocking settings for the first time you can switch your laptop from standard configuration to your overclocked settings by just pressing a button.

According to ASUS the maximum graphics card this laptop accepts is GeForce 8700M. Even though this is not the most high-end NVIDIA graphics card for mobile computers, we think this video card provides a great performance for the mainstream gamer.

Of course this shouldn’t be the cheapest laptop around, but for gamers and high-end users it should present an attractive cost/benefit ratio if you want to get rid of a big computer and lots of cables to get more space on your desk and have the option to own a computer that can be easily carried around from home to LAN parties and similar events.
