I think Blu-Ray within a laptop is great BUT ONLY if it is a Blu-Ray Burner. I am not sure but I think you can diary or char 25gigs of facts! Wow... Now that's alot of pictures music and movies. But again here's the drawback, if thing should happen to that Blu-Ray disc like it cracks Or gets destroyed in some other approach you're out of 25gigs of information i.e. if you haven't backed it up on varied medium... But for just watching movies, the stock DVD-ROM will do just grand.. Just thing to think about.
