    Not sure, since it was replaced by the C90P. No idea if you could still find any of them.

    Warranty?
    I got it last year with a X6800 CPU, touchpad is slightly worn but everything still works great, just got sick of waiting for supposedly upgradable GPU's (mine has the 8600M GT).
    PM me if you want to talk
    Hurry going on a road trip soon if you are serious.

    You ought to consider it :p You could sell the x6800 and buy the e7500 45nm penryn which is cooler and better performance without losing a cent right off the bat.

    I saw that the e7600 is out. Can I use this with the modified e7500 bios for the C90s?

    They aren't expensive, they are outdated. Outdated laptops don't get price drops, they get discountinued ;)

    Fraid not. The half multi E7xx processors ie the 7200,400 and 600 will not be recognised properly. For example rather than running at 3.06 ghz @ 11.5 multi the E7600 will run the same speed as a E7500- 2.93ghz. The E7300 and 500 are the ones to go for therefore and if a E7700 with a 12x multi comes out that one too. On another note you could wait for the release of the Q7500 as it is very possible for it to work in the C90.
