Ultrabase include cd drive?

#1 Post by KenFodder » Tue Mar 08, 2005 6:53 am

When buying the ultrabase X4 for the X40 does it have a drive or is it just an empty slot for you to add a cd/dvd/hdd/batt? And you have to buy that separately?

Thanks.

It probably depends on the seller, read their specs for it, I'm sure it'll detail what is and is not included.

Yeh I see your point, but you understand that some online stores are terrible with descriptions. Also on the UK IBM website it doesn't state that is has one, nor does it say it requires one. So I guess there kinda trying hide the fact that you need to buy this as an extra, until you have got it, already in the premium price.

Thanks for you comment on that.

If all else fails, send the seller an email with specific questions.

When buying just the X3 or X4 there will be no drive included. The ultrabay slot is covered by a removable plastic part.

Some resellers might offer a set of drive an X3 or X4 but normally you buy just the X3/X4 without any drive.
