Audio card in the laptop is fine for general use, just hook up the speakers to the headphone jack.

Thank you, Sir.

"Warning! 2nd Hard Drive for Asus G53SX is Manufacture/Distributor Upgradeable only. No user can install!" Can anyone tell me is this simply a warranty thing to aggravate people. I don't want to spring for the 2nd drive now, maybe 6 months, or a year whenever. I guess I don't understand the reasoning behind it. Though I only see it mentioned on Asus G53SX-XR1 Gaming Laptop | Asus G53SX Gaming Laptop | Asus Custom Built Gaming Laptop

It's a warranty thing, but unless screws are missing, service centers probably can't tell if it has been opened. Installing a second HDD in a G53 is not as straightforward as some notebooks, but overly difficult either, assuming this particular XR1 model has a second HDD caddy already installed.

A cooler is not necessary for the G53SX. It has a great cooling system built-in.

Is this something that only applies to Asus laptops? Or any laptop with the GTX 560M graphics card?

I'm trying to decide between this laptop and the Sager NP8130, both with this graphics card. If it does apply to all of the cards regardless of the system, how big of a deal is it for gaming?
