Blu-Ray Drive For Apple Notebooks

Posted by kdawson on Thursday April 26, 2007 @03:12AM from the but-not-from-Apple dept.

Sean Jackson writes "Fastmac has beaten Apple to the Blu-Ray punch and has a new slimline Blu-Ray drive that works in PowerBooks, iBooks, Mac Minis, the MacBook Pro 17", and a few other systems. It's pricey ($800), but you have to admit that burning 45 GB is pretty sweet. Here are technical specs. Fastmac says that playing Blu-Ray movies isn't currently supported since there is no software player. However, several solutions are in the works and there is always a chance OS X 10.5 will support playing movies. Perhaps this means that Apple isn't far behind and will be offering Blu-Ray with the next MacBook and MacBook Pro revisions."

You're right, it shouldn't be modified to 'troll'. It should be flamebait, as per the FAQ. Your second post should be the one modified as "troll". You're right, the mods really need to read up the rules before modding you down. Trust me when I say that in the future, I will make sure to mod you down using the correct moderation. Hopefully, using the link to the FAQ in this post as guidance, other moderators will mod you down appropriately as well.
