The M11x was never offered with any internal Optical drive. You have the option of buying an external Optical drive. The M14x is only offered with the 8x DVD±R/RW Slot Load Optical drive. The Blu-ray Optical drives are reserved for the higher ended M17x and M18x.

I hear what you are saying about the higher end computers running only such software, but surely DELL should strive to meet the demand for the public. I too wanted my M14 to come with Blu Ray. What is DELL doing about this? If there should be some software udate to intall (blu ray), I would be willing to purchase it.

From my understanding it is the physical size of the optical drive that is the problem. A normal slot load BluRay Drive that is available is thicker than the optical drive in the m14x; therefore no BD capabilities on the m14x, that is unless some manufacturer decides to make the smaller form factor.

The m11 doesn't have optical drives. What about the m17? It's a little more but it does have a BR player. Maybe you can buy the m17 BR player from Dell and install it into the m14?
