I have a MacBook Pro and the graphics card can support HD. The MacBook Pro can push a 30" LCD at HD resolution.]]>Apr 6th 2007 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/
Almost all computers can output high resolution through DVI or VGA. Whether the graphics card and/or Mac's CPU can keep up with decoding the Blu-ray MPEG stream, in real time, is another question. I have a P4 3Ghz w/ 2GB RAM and nvidia 7600 GS (256 MB) and it chokes when trying to play HD-DVD. It takes some serious horse power to watch one of those movies on a PC. Just take a look at CyberLink's BLU/HD DVD system requirements info:

its a bit expensive, but it would make me so cool. who else is able to burn all of their hds content at once?

end of sarcasm.

remember the first days of the DVD or even the CD? allt the people where saying omg thats expensive. who needs that crap when you can buy a 10 gb hd for 150$?
and in then years it will be "omg a 500$ 59^23 TB microwave-quantum-ferrofluid-nanostore? who needs this crap, when 150$ buys you a perfect 22^24 TB perpendicular-monkeyballostore!"

I can think of another use. Rip and burn blu-ray movies. :-)]]>Apr 6th 2007 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/Apr 7th 2007 3:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/
Shucks, guess I am out of luck.]]>Apr 6th 2007 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/Apr 7th 2007 2:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/
The 15" MBP uses a 9.5mm high optical drive, hence the lower DVD burning speeds on its stock drive(4X) as compared to the 17" MBP with its standard 12mm drive (8X).

That said, let's stop worrying about formats that people can't decide on and get a 8X or 16X low-profile burner for the 15" MBP!]]>Apr 8th 2007 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/嗯嗯~~~這說法還沒看過耶。]]>Apr 8th 2007 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/Apr 9th 2007 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/06/fastmac-debuts-blu-ray-drive-for-your-fast-or-slow-mac/Jun 8th 2007 9:56AM
