    I've decided to buy the g51jx (sorry g73 fanboys, but I've made my decision) but I have two questions regarding it that I'd like to clarify.

    1. Does this thing have a second hard drive bay or not?

    According to the 2nd review here on Newegg, it does not have the 2nd bay. But I remember reading one of the posts on here by a user who said there WAS 2nd bay for this laptop. So is there one that I can buy a SSD for?

    2. Can I replace the g51's lid with the g50 lid? Because let's be honest here, the lid is completely unprofessional and hideous.

    The review's I linked to is the G51JX-X1. I didn't put the X1 because I thought all G51JX series were physically the same and the only difference were spec differences.

    Mikozee, you should wait until July. The designers of the g73 hinted there might be a g53. If it can hold a 5870, that would be nasty =D
