    I was just wondering if it is possible to put a bluray drive in the e1705.
    It's a customizable option on the xps 1710 which means it should work perfectly with an updated bios.

    The XPS M1710 and E1705 use the same parts...including the motherboard, graphics card, and the sturdy case as far as I know.

    I would think it would be as easy as swapping the dvd drives as usual, but I wanted to double check before I went and bought an expensive drive.
