I changed my 640GB HDD to a 160GB SSD.

Best decision I've made for this laptop. 

Pretty much either Asus G74Sx or VX7Sx,
But better pick MSI, since it got better hardware
MSI GT70 [17.3", FHD Anti-glare 1920 x 1080, Intel Chief River i7-3610QM, NVIDIA GTX670M 3.0GB GDDR5, 8GB DDR3, 750GB 7200RPM HDD, Dynaudio Sound, SteelSeries Gaming Keyboard With Backlight, Gaming Mouse, Backpack, Win7 Premium, 2 Years Warranty]
– RM6399 FREE SteelSeries Siberia V2 Headset

so, here's my own mini review of this mighty beast...

i WILL NOT be reviewing the performance of the hardware, u can find plenty of that in the Internet, so it's pointless for me to do one... i will be focusing on the features of the laptop instead...

also, i bought this laptop in Hong Kong, so some of the configuration may differ...

let's start off with the spec of the laptop:

MSI GT683DX
Intel Core i5-2450M (2.5GHz, 3MB L3 cache, 1C/2C Boost @ 3.1GHz/2.9GHz)
Intel HM67 chipset
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570M (336 unified stream processors, 192-bit GDDR5 1.5GB)
Nanya DDR3 1333MHz 4GB x2
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 130
Western Digital Scorpio Black 750GB
15.6" Full HD 1920x1080 monitor
USB 2.0 x2 + USB 3.0 x2

....

Audio -
this is the area that literally blew me away ... i am no audiophile, but still have my own set of requirements when looking for earphones or speakers... for a long time i have never been a fan of laptop speakers, for obvious reasons... most laptop speakers produce hollow audio with virtually zero bass or treble... Lenovo Y510 (2.1 speaker setup) and harmon/kardon on Toshiba have proven otherwise, but was not sufficient to convince me... Dynaudio is truly splendid, sound is solid, for the first time i can actually hear bass on laptops and sends the vibration throughout the whole palm rest... granted the sound is still not top notch, but it's way above the average laptop speakers in the market...

this laptop is 7.1 channel ready as well, if u ve such a speaker system at ur disposal...

I changed my 640GB HDD to a 160GB SSD.

Best decision I've made for this laptop. 

I still use 40GB

Wa, seems like got person like that, how do you survive that, you install/keep all the other things to external hard disk?

Can't comment much on GT70's heat management, since its very new..

As for dynaudio, Astria have better explanation
Oh, but if you can wait, the Asus G75 should be near..

You can change to SSD, just replace the HDD.
Asus G53Sx ?
or if prefer newer gen processor
MSI GE60 [15.6", FHD Anti-glare 1920 x 1080, Intel Chief River i7-3610QM, NVIDIA GT650M 2.0GB GDDR5, 8GB DDR3, 750GB 7200RPM HDD, SteelSeries Gaming Keyboard, Gaming Mouse, Backpack, Win7 Premium, 2 Years Warranty] – RM4399 FREE SteelSeries QCK Mass mouse pad

Can consider
Dell Inspiron 15 (N5050), i3-2350M + Intel HD3000@RM1749, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), W7HB
or if like matte display
Dell Vostro 3550, i3-2350M + Intel HD3000@RM1979,W7HB, colors: silver/ brown/red
Yup, only 128GB. Unless you notebook can have 2/3 HDD or you change the Optical Drive into HDD caddy.

1. Preferred Brand : Acer / Asus
2. Budget : Below RM2.5k
3. Usage : A little of everything
Buying my first laptop and currently i have been trying to decide between acer 4752G i5 and V3-471G i5. Anyway, how much is it to upgrade 4752G 2GB ram to 4GB? But after asking around, everyone kept asking me to buy Asus as it is said to be more stable. My friend told me that warranty wise, Asus warranty would take weeks while Acer would normally take a few days. Now i thought of buying Asus A43SD i5. I need someone to put my mind at rest.

A piece of 4GB RAM is around RM70... so a 2GB RAM should be much cheaper
As for warranty claims, it all depends on the severity of the damage, it may take from days to months... but both Asus and Acer are not really that good when it comes to warranty claims..

For your budget, you can get these Asus instead, the graphic card is better:
Asus
A43Sa-VX083v, i5-2430M + AMD HD6730M@RM2499, 750GB (7200rpm)
A43Sm-VX102v, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2099[2.4kg], 2GB, 500GB (5400rpm)
A43Sm-VX002v, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT630M (2GB)@RM2399[2.4kg]v, 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm)

*Try to look for the 1st model, otherwise, go for the 2nd model and then add in another piece of RAM yourself... go for the 3rd model if you can't get the 1st two
