    The optical is removable so it should be possible to replace it with a blu ray drive if one is available.

    I can't thin of any reasons why it wouldn't work.

    It's fairly easy to install it. Just make sure you read through the service manual on Dell site.

    Look for "CA10N" on ebay. That's the drive you need. Hope that helps!
