Uh Oh, no optical drive? My optical drive has saved me at school many times! Even though "we" are past optical drives, it is still used by people who can't give them up for business reasons. I guess that also means no bluray even though it has an hdmi port. Given the series' track record, we can probably expect poor performance with a usb bluray drive in 1080p.
I hope that one day custom built mobile computers will be a reality.
Portable optical drives can be had for well under US 50.00 these days, and I've seen BD units for around US 100.00 on eBay that are hardly larger than a CD case.

Problem Solved!
@DaHarder Unless it breaks HDCP. But I see your point.

Do you know (for a fact) that it won't be able to circumvent these obstacles?
We'll See Soon Enough...
