Hello and welcome to the forums
Have a look at both ASUS G53SW and G73SW

 

[Supaplex]

G73SW Looks really nice, and costs around 1100eur, thx, but still i see there are 2 versions

differences:
ASUS-G73SW-TZ123V 1x 4gb; 500GB; DVD RW Super Multi DL; 1075 €
ASUS-G73SW-TZ043V 3x 2gb; 750GB; Blu-ray writer ; 1269 €

Do you think that +250gb space, bluray writer and +2gb ram is worth of 200€ ? Iam not sure, probably not in my requirements, but maybe its not that bad idea..

 

[Maziar]

For 200€ more it's worth it BUT if you're OK with 500GB HDD,no Blu-Ray then get the cheaper one(the extra RAM won't make a huge difference unless you do lots of
image/video editing software)

I can't tell, if one wanted to add a second ssd drive as a boot drive, is there room in either of these two laptops?

 

[JackNaylorPE]

I'd say either the Asus models lusted above of the Clevo P150HM / P170HM

That looks slick, for 1500 you get a 470m instead of a 460m. Never bought from RK. Cursory internet look seems good, though they have no forum.

 

[Maziar]

About your first question,yes there is room in both G73 and G53
As for RK,well they ship internationally so ask about the shipping cost before you order(xoticpc.com is also a great clevo reseller that ships internationally and they have a forum too)
