but at 879...

you don't get to write onto bluray...you'd have to spend another 200 for that.

not that anyone would actually do that.

Considering...

At cost and in bulk, a BD drive is around $300 you are not getting much laptop with that...

What about the other components?

It's a decent idea but those players are still not cheap, and so I bet
that the rest of that computer is crap as far as components go. So
at best you get a Bluray for 879 bucks? I think i'd rather have a ps3
