    Hi guys,

    I really would like to order a new Z11 as soon as possible and since I was following all the threads here about the Z for the last couple of weeks, I'm really convinced about it. There is only one question left for me, before I can decide what to choose when ordering my Z.

    Is it possible to change the standard DVD drive with an 9.5mm Blu-Ray drive? I saw a lot of pictures of the opened Z and it looked like it's some kind of special drive so it seems very hard to fit there a standard drive. If it's not possible to swap the drive, does anyone know where to get the original Blu-Ray drive from a spare-part dealer?

    Thanks very much in advance guys!
