Bear in mind, that slot loaders will drive up the cost.
Besides, the slot loading drive wouldn't be any better in cramped areas, than the tray.
You would still need to make room to insert the CD perfectly horizontal.
Just saying....
I'd take a slot loading drive too over a tray any day.

Hitachi's DZ-BD7HA Blu-ray / 30GB HDD hybrid camcorder reviewed

ummmmm, i don't think blu-ray has a chance. have you seen how expensive it is buy buy a blank DL BD? they're crazy expensive. after that, you need to get a blu-ray burner. They are even more crazy expensive. for all of that money, you could've have just got an external hard drive or something. i've seen those mini ones go up to 80 gb. that definitely kicks the crap out of blu ray. AND the hard drive is reusable. i dont think blu-ray will catch on. it's a great thing, but sorry. it just wont. too many people are hooked onto to dvds and HD dvds. you cant warp a whole market to do your bidding.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
