    Lol. They would have been better off having three 2.5" SATA bays than a 3.5" + 2.5" slot. Two 2.5" drives are smaller and use less power than a single 3.5".

    Yes but a single 3.5" has a lot more storage space.

    Than two 2.5" hard drives? You can fit four 2.5" hard drives in the same space as a single 3.5" HDD and probably consume half the power as a single 3.5" drive too.

    1TB notebook drives are plentiful now, and affordable. Four of those suckers could equate to 4TB, plus add an mSATA and an optical drive.

    How many people really need a 3.5" hard drive in their laptop? Most users will fit what they need easily in < 1TB, and have external storage for anything else. I would think it would be a very niche product.

    Actually according to the review between 1hr 51min and 6hr 15min, depending on the use.

    The weight will be the most funny part. Imagine how the laptop always tips on one side (where the 3.5" hdd is) and if you pick it up by the light side, it almost breaks apart lol :D
