    Why does the M14X on have two different looking models?

    I noticed looking at the pictures of the M14X on their website, they have two different versions, physically.


    1 has an optical drive, USB ports & ethernet on the right side, the other has USB ports & audio jacks on the right side.


    *EDIT* Wow, excuse the terrible grammar. I'm not sure how I managed that(Complete & total brain fart). What I'm asking is, are there two different models? Does it have an optical drive or not? I don't see one in the second set of photos. (The ones with audio jacks on the right side)

    The M14x has an optical drive. Chalk it up to a picture error. ;)

    Rofl, I knew someone would get confused about that error. I actually just told a Dell rep that the M14x had the wrong gallery on its product page and she said she would tell the web development team and that it should be fixed soon.
