I'm wondering if the current Macbook Pro will run Blu ray with no problems on my Penryn 17" MBP that I'm buying. Prices are comming down eventually, and I forsee a time that I will be able to buy a slimline Blu ray drive to replace the DVD burner in the MBP in the next 6 months. Or at least thats my plan.
will the 17" MBP play Blu ray? I have a PS3 at home and my Blu ray selection is growing every month. I just want to be able to get a Blu ray drive and upgrade my MBP in the future and not have to buy another $3000 laptop just to do this. Is the current MBP and its video card hardy enough to run Blu ray with no problems?
If i have Apple care, would I just need an apple authorized tech to install the drive to not void my warantee?
I know fastmac.com has offered a blu ray upgrade drive for the past few months. But its pricy at $1000. I'm hoping to get one when they get under $400.
Any thoughts?
