    I play to buy a new laptop on the boxing day and I would like to add a ssd later on. I would like to know if I should check some 15 inch laptop too or only 17 inch one.

    The Asus G5X series has dual HDD bays, as do the MSI GX660R/GT660R.

    Yep, 5482741 named the main ones I think of. They're 15.6 inchers which I consider to be more like 16 laptops than 15. If you want to go 15.4 or lower you'd have to sacrifice your optical drive to get 2 drives. (see sig)

    I need the optical drive, which will probably be a blu-ray one :p. But thank you for the answer, and even the model

    Thinkpad t510 has an ultra bay adapter so you can have 2 drives in the notebook.

    the ultra bay rremoves the optical drive so its not really any different than every notebook with a optical drive,
    other than you can also put a battery in it.

    And its more expensive.

    older versions of the asus g60 and g51 also had 2 hdd bays.

    be careful because they have to be older ones, they have the gtx 260 gpu and not the 360 gts gpu

    Look at MSI GX660R. Best option for you! Otherwise , only look at Asus G51JX.. the J version runs too hot.
