So about the SSD-in-Optical drive can 100% done right .. coz only then will I get the i5 version and upgrade with the SSD ?

Will doing so void my warranty ??

Also will the Optical work from USB though a chassis ?? (as a bonus) :D
:facepalm: It shows that at sata 1 HDD is connected. SATA 2 BD-Rom is connected and SATA 3 is Blank!! So that you can Insert SSD and connect it to SATA 3

Took Off!!!
Just realized the i5 version has a 6Cell (48Wh), while the i7 version has 6Cell (56Wh). so the battery life of the i5 and i7 version will be similar.

Dudeee.. :)

I''m saying there wont be any space to put the SSD inside the laptop .. It has space for just one 2.5" HDD & one Optical Drive.


So I will need to remove something naa .. :)

I hope you're right .. but its just that no one has really opened it up to see the secondary HDD bay .. If i'm not wrong.

It would be great to add the SSD :D

Can somebody confirm the extra HDD bay ??

Okay.. apologies for the derailing ..

Will upgrading with the SSD void the warranty ? cuz I think the RAM n HDD bays are self-serviceable ?

hi guys i am a prospective buyer but i am a little confused with the throttling issue.

Till now i understand the problem is only with i5 users, i7 people have no problem....Right?
The throttling sets in only when on AC Adaptor (strange!), no problems ON Battery....?

After what time does the problem set in 10min, 15 min, 20 min ?....
What's the view of users is it a Driver problem or a larger hardware problem?

As far as I know throttling occurs either due to faulty power supply or high temperature, this laptop seems to have both of these issues. So I dont think it's a driver problem, it is just my personal opinion so I might be wrong.

any user who like to help...:chinscratch:

hey buddy listen no one here is having exact information why throttling occurs my friend pratyush and many other owners never experienced throttling and temps were on high but they are bearable...laptop remains amazingly cool as ron said ( read some above posts and pages ) it can be build fault too but the build quality is very nice as everyone is saying may be some more resources demanding game causing throttling all are hoping it will get fixed when nvidia release new official drivers! i saw even the inspiron 17r se is having a little throttling too and temps are same around 90c there too!! so dont worry about it much if you play on 1600x 900 on ultra setting it may can happen but better to play on just a little lower resolution most of the users are not having much problems now!! even har and other members never had throttling issues just once or two may be...jbl , display , other specs stand out the crowd !! it is VFM!! EVERYONE AGREE!
