Dell: Blu-Ray Drives as BTO in Notebooks

Dell has launched its first Blu-Ray-based notebook. This option is expensive (950$).
Now, it also shows that Apple has to get prepared, but Cupertino will have to fix many issues before making it possible:
- The display should support 1080p, so LCD panel with a resolution of 1920x1080, something not currently available for Apple notebooks, even with the 17" MBP.
- The computer needs to get the HDCP hardware chips (for being able to play commercial HD video in full option).
- Last but not least, Apple will need a slot-in BD drive model, and so far only tray-based models are available for BD drive.
Of course, not all users need a BD burner in their notebooks, and for sure it is for the time being a niche market, but as for GPU manufacturers and their high-end model, it is a flagship aiming to demonstrate the diversity of Apple hardware.
