    if i were to buy an x301 right now in hopes of adding the internal DVD drive later, would that be possible?

    i can't seem to find the product page for it on the lenovo store. any help?

    I agree. With all the hassle of getting one after the fact, just save yourself a lot of trouble, time, and $$$ and just order it with the unit.

    Or just get a USB drive. I have several X300s & an X301 with the DVD drive but they're rarely used.
