    Will upgrading the harddrive void the warranty on my G50Vm-x1?

    No. Not unless the HDD breaks the computer.

    *Most* laptops will not encounter warranty issues if you upgrade the HDD.

    Yes, but ASUS are pretty lenient about it. Best to keep the original HDD to replace it in case you need to send the notebook for warranty work. Otherwise you should be fine.
