Hi there and thanks for your interest in this listing. The ad gives just the basic configuration that the laptop came with, most sellers will either upgrade the hard drive or leave it as is depending on the stock at hand. If the hard drive is upgraded, the upgrade is mentioned in the tech specs/condition. Different sellers will have differing tech specifications on their ad depending on the model and configuration they have. I hope that answers your question.

Mine has the Reinstall DVD for Windows 7 64 bit, and another DVD for drivers. What I really wanted to ask was for the Restore DVD -- a DVD that will restore the laptop to its original, out of the box state. However, none of the included DVDs provide that, not even the reinstall DVD and driver DVD. I emailed dell support and they agreed to provide me with a replacement drive to assist with my restore process.

First of all this is an EXCELLENT SSD. The other SSD I had was a OCZ and it was not even close to this one. I do a lot of picture editing which I think this SSD drive is good for that. Right now I have 2,200 pictures on the drive plus all my programs and I still have 90GB left. I think you could get by with the 128GB but would regret it later. I would suggest the 256gb. Speed difference is the first thing you will notice! My laptop boots up in about 10-12 seconds. I think you have make an excellent choice

Amazon sent me an email inviting me to respond to this since I purchased this item a few weeks ago. I don't know about the one being offered here but mine has a 297 gByte hard drive, as reported through Windows 7. I was happy quite satisfied with the laptop...the only cautionary tale is that it comes with Windows loaded with no hardcopy of the OS or key: If windows has to be reloaded for any reason (this has NOT happened to me yet, I am just being pessimistic) you will have to pay for it.

Not sure if they use the 3.5 or2.5 laptop drives. Try the SSD tho. They work great..

Sorry we can't add SSD for you. We are selling the factory default as it is from MSI. You can add SSD by yourself.

It has both but the ssd is 250 gig drive. As for the warranty I forget. I would have to dig out my paperwork. Great laptop though. I use it for gaming and it runs everything I've thrown at it so far.

You can buy this with SSD already included. This brand has dozens of models in this size of every possible option and I have one like this with SSD.

As one of the primary reasons for choosing this model, I can confirm it comes with a 120gb SSD. It boots on the SSD almost instantly. Very fast laptop.

Optical Drive Mystery: Why do some owners/reviewers of this laptop say they wish it had an optical drive when one is listed in the specs provided by Amazon? The specs say DVD-RW. Strange huh?

I saw the 'Blu-Ray Drive' in the Technical Details as well.The laptop was priced $849.00 when I ordered it on 11-30-2010.The laptop was delivered (2 days late) on 12-11-2010 WITHOUT the Blu-Ray Drive. Just a regular DVD Drive.I checked on Amazon.com and there was no mention of Blu-Ray Drive anywhere (they must have removed it) and the laptop is now priced $729.99!Amazon customer service is denying they ever advertised that the product features a 'Blu-Ray'drive !!!

There seem to be different versions of the same basic model. Mine came with a 250 gb spinning platter drive. I put a 128 gb ssd in for about 80 bucks. The kit by monster made that super simple and you can reuse the software and cable for other computers. RAM seems to vary as well. I have three of these 1 from work and 2 bought used.

I can not answer that question because I did not install the SSD. I brought it to the greek squad at Bestbuy. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I agree with Eric. I always thought the SSD was just there as a disk cache and that appears to be the way it is treated. It works and it is fast. Take a look in Control Panel at "System" and then "Device Manager" and then "Disk Drives" and you will see the SSD listed separately from the hard disk drive. (I'm running Win 8.1)

Frank, it has both. The SSD is a 20GB and is for cache purposes. Look at the link and click on specifications. It has all of the info. that the listing should have. I am very pleased with this laptop! http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Acer-Aspire-TimelineU-M5-581T-6024-15.6in-Core-i5-3317U-Windows-7-Home/3035027.aspx
