I know i am a complete noob here, but you know when you say that you can put a battery/blu-ray drive in the smart bay ?? Is that an extra battery, or does that mean every time i play a dvd or summit, i have to be plugged in ??

[wwwgeekdotcom]

the computer has a space where only the battery can go. then there is another space where the dvd/blu-ray drive normally goes. If you want, you can put an extra hard drive or battery in this spot.

yes you can. google "alienware blu-ray drive" and go to the shopping tab and you'll see a bunch.

so are we not able to dock an existing hard drive into the smartbay? so do I have to buy a rocketfish hard drive enclosure kit to get my old laptop files across to my new m15x?

[cacabeans]

hi i was just customizing my m15x on alienware's website and under the power option it had the choice of an extra battery. would this extra battery be one that fit into the smartbay? or just a regular extra battery? thanks

yeah during customizition of the m15x there should be options but there spread throughout out of all of dem.

I tried this but i couldn't find a battery option. I have not bought the laptop yet though and i was wondering if you can by the options during the purchase process online. If you could get back to me that would be very helpful.

can you buy a blu-ray player for the m15x after ordering it?
