    I plan on picking me up a laptop in the next couple of week, and plan on ordering online since there isn't any good stores nearby. Got a few things i'm wondering about between the msi whiteboards and the gtx780dx.
    Ok so far at customizing the two to my specs the only differences I can see are that the gtx has msi branding on it and it comes with a 2 year warranty and a 1 year accidental warranty, where the whiteboard only comes with a 1 year warranty.
    One question I have is am I able to open the GTX and install another hard drive without voiding the warranty?
    Is there anything different between the two that I don't know about?
    Thanks for all the help

    The components are all come different as standard as well, but yes that is correct. The warranties are the main difference.

    If you replace the hard drive in these models, it would not void the warranty. You would obviously want to be careful however when doing so.

    The MSI overclock stuff comes standard on the MSI branded notebook I believe, also.
