Hello everyone,

Longtime viewer, first time poster.
I bought an ASUS G73JH a few years back and to be honest regret it beyond the words i can offer, however it's not all bad. I have a few questions i hope someone can enlighten me.
I am about to purchase a new laptop, it's the "Metabox W370ET" from Metabox W370ET

I'm not definite on this laptop, however my question is, Can i take parts from my ASUS G73JH and put them into it? For instance, my Dual 500gb 4gb Flash Hitachi Hybrid drives?
Perhaps my BluRay Burner?

Thanks for advice you can offer.

Thanks guys, i really appreciate you taking the time.

The main issues i had with my G73 was it started overheating badly, the GPU mostly. and also the keyboard keys S+W+2 all stopped working, after spending $2700 on the whole package, was severely disappointed when it all starting dying on me. After 2 RMA's.
