Right now the C90 is the only model with upgradable graphics, do you think Asus will make more models with this feature? I would like for a V1Sesque laptop to have upgradable graphics, right now I am torn between the V1S and C90, and the only reason I would want a C90 is for the upgradable graphics so I don't have to buy a new laptop every two years. But if its possible Asus will make more laptops with this feature, I might wait a while, so do you think they will or is there any news that they will?

Barebone wise, probably. I recall when the C90s was first announced, they had spoken about a 17", 19" and 14" upgradable barebone series. C80 and C70 were the 17" and 19" IIRC.

As for their pre-builts, I wouldn't really count on it.

I know that the gpu format for the A8J/S, F8S, G1p/S, and V1J/S are all the same, but they may or may not be able to change the GPU due to an incompatible vBIOS.
