XPS 8700 Indicator Lights

Does the XPS 8700 come with any indicator lights? I purchased a Dell laptop a few years back and was disappointed that it did not have a hard drive indicator light. Does this one have it? I find the lack of one very annoying, especially when trying to troubleshoot whether or not the computer is loading something. The availability of the light is a deciding factor as to whether or not I will buy the computer.

There is no mention nor indication of any lights in any picture or manual I could find on the web.

Yes. It has a small white HDD indicator light on the front, and the power button on top lights up too.

The there is no mention of the hard drive indicator light in the set up guide (although it does mention the media card reader light). I can see what looks like I hard drive icon in the upper right hand side along with what could be the power indicator if I really blow up the image. Dell should do a better job in this regard. Thank you for the responses.
