Blu-ray Drive on M14x or M11x ?!

I wanted to order 100% of one m14x or m11x!
But unfortunately there is no option for a Blu-ray drive! why Dell?
Dell I'm disappointed :(

    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?

    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.
