    I just purchased an ASUS from Newegg(still has yet to arrive) but i was wondering if anyone knows what size the optical drive is. I want to upgrade later on to blu-ray and do not want to buy the wrong one.

    This is the little beast here.
    ASUS G Series G71G-X1 Intel Core 2 Duo T9400(2.53GHz) 17.0" Wide UXGA 4GB Memory 320GB HDD DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GS NoteBook

    Thanks
