I remember seeing am ASUS G75VW with 2 drives, is there an extra slot for another drive in this laptop? How many battery cells does it have?

Hello! Yes, this laptop is equipped with 2 accessible hard drive bays. This specific laptop has a 1TB 5400rpm drive installed in one bay and the other bay is empty. If you are feeling REALLY adventurous there is an internal eSATA you can use as well, although I don't recommend it as this will void your warranty. It has a 8 Cell 5200 mAh 74 Whrs battery. Don't expect a lot of battery life out of this machine (maybe a little over 2 hours with battery saving mode enabled).

Ryan: I am very interested in finding a case, possibly one with a slot load drive. I read you mentioned a case you found but where's the picture of the case? I would love to see it if you could please provide me a link or photo. Thanks so much. -cindy

I have no idea, it was a gift for my boyfriend. The screen was damaged so we didn't get to look closely at the laptop. But it think it does has 2 slots. I'm mot 100% sure.

The laptop has 2 ram slots, i just put in mine 2x4gb crucial memories and works like a charm, before i had only the 4 gb original hynix memory in it. Also you have 2 hdd drive bays which is a rare thing into a laptop especially at this price so you can easily put in a ssd drive to speed up the system. @Lemas I don't know what problems are you experiencing but I had 0 problems with it I used windows 8 and i just upgraded to 8.1 without any problems and i am using it for more than 6 months now and is my main work laptop so it runs almost 24h/day.@Rudy yeah having a big touch pad you can easily move the cursor around so i suggest you use a mouse and shutdown the touch using FN+F7 keys.

there are two hard drives in it which are not SSDs. i think they're both 1TB each, partitioned in a bunch of funky ways.i get a mild, constant shock from this thing when i rest my right wrist on the metal chassis, just fyi.

I cannot find the specs on your current Optical Disk drive. Check and see if it has a mini-sata connector on the back (http://www.ixbt.com/editorial/idf7p/d0/k18.jpg). And if it does measure how tall the drive is with a millimeter ruler. That should allow you determine whether or not this is right for you. Also the Asus website says your laptop already supports two hard drives.

I don't recall. The laptop completely died within a month of installing this drive. The drive worked fine, the power supply died. I no longer have it so can't look and see what the Brand name was. /sorry

Yes. I installed one. There's a slot to add a second HDD but it would just put SSD in it.

I don't know about the RAM, but I do not see a battery, suggesting it is built in. The computer is great except that the DVD drive on 2 that I have had (one had to go in for repair 1 day after I received it) had a totally non-functioning drive. It would not open except with the use of a paper clip inserted in the slot. And then the drive would not recognize a disk. Got a replacement computer, and the drive is marginally functional - won't stay shut unless a disk is in there. The rest of the computer is perfect (so far), and I rarely use the DVD drive, but you might want to think about that potential problem.

I have no problems with mine. In fact I have 3 Asus laptops (me and my two kids). This G75VW-DS73-3D is my daughter's and she has had it for 8 months. No problems with hers booting up. I hear others have the boot up problem like you do. None of mine have the problem, however, and they all work just fine. The other 2 I have are from the exact same family, the G75VW-AS71 and the G75VW-DS72.

There are 4 drive bays. I haven't done so, but I understand you can rig the DVD slot for an additional drive. I have already added USB external without a problem. As far as the larger that 2TB drives - sorry, I haven't tried that. I'm running two small drives to handle the OS in a RAID configuration and 2-2TB drives in a RAID for everything else. Just haven't had a reason to upgrade beyond 2TB yet.

there is only one empty slot there, so what you should do is buy only one RAM, the bigger the better. And personally I think if you have some extra money buy a new SSD will be good, the HDD is really slow.

Yes My sister almost has the same Laptop just different specs. I Have the g7-2251dx and it works great as soon as i bought the laptop and Recieved it i Swapped out the memory before even turning it on for the First Time. I Gave my Sister the Stock Memory that was in my g7-2251dx so she now has 8 GB.

Thanks for your reply. I think I'll spend the extra $ for the larger hard drive (and better warrenty even though Asus had the best reliability rating of most other laptops so probably won't need it). I am replacing my ancient Toshiba Satellite and think the Asus is a better value.

ok 2 points .... first i cant answer your question as i bought teh machine for my son at school. but I can tell you that one of the selling points wa that this laptop had an SSD and traditional HD. so not sure why you feel the need to replace onboard HD with another SSD. but i would imagine its pretty simple to do so
