    It would really be neat if I could put in a slot load Blue-ray drive or burner in my 1340, would the one in the 1640/1645 be Compatible and if so ... where do I get it

    and if not, any other drives would fit

    I dont believe there is one to fit the xps1340, but I could be very wrong. But mainly there is no point!! Because 1340 doesnt carry 1080p resolution,, so if you're gona watch Hi quality Blu-ray films on 800p screen you're not getting the point of blu-ray.

    Plus Blu-Ray is great beacus you can watch a movie in high quality on 50' inch screen instead of missing everything out on a 13' lol
