    i was on xoticpc.com when i saw 2 g53's
    ASUS G53JW-A3 - ROG Republic of Gamers Laptop
    and
    ASUS G53JW-A1 - XOTIC PC - Republic of Gamers Laptop

    is the the asus gG53JW-A1 and ASUS G53JW-A3 exactly the same except for the hard drive size?
    when configuring the A3 model which has a 320g hd then i added a second hard drive (750GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Buffer) it still came out cheaper by 10$ than the A1 model which only has one 750GB hard drive. am i missing some thing ?

    im planning to use it for world of warcraft and black ops does upgrading my wireless card to -Intel® Advanced-N 6200 , intel® Ultimate-N 6300 or Intel® Advanced-N 6250 improve my latency and connection stability and speed?

    I wouldn't bother with a 320G HDD. Get the A1, and add a second 750GB, or get a SSD and use the 750G drive as storage.
