    I ordered an Asus G73JH-RBBX05 and was wondering if Im able to swap out the optical drive and upgrade it to a Blu Ray drive.

    I was going to use the blue Ray drive that I have now from this laptop:
    Sony Vaio VGN-NW270F/S Specs - Laptops - CNET Reviews

    Is this possible?

    Thats What I Did,Took The Bd From My Wifes Vaio Vgn-nw350f
    Removed The Drive Rail And Swapped The Back Fasteners
    Swapped Bezels And It Slid Right in.
    Booted No Prob,You'll Need Some Software To Play Bd's
    I Purchased Windvd 10 pro As Corel Had It On Sale For $39.99
    Easy Mod,Good Luck And Enjoy!
