Blu ray in Montevina MacBook Pros



Yes



No



Maybe so







Obviously, im expecting apple to include a Blu-ray Disc Drive Burner (apparent delays in last refresh according to Appleinsider) and itll be dual layer and 2x write, slot loading

    Show me an affordable slot loading Blu-ray Recorder.



    They're as rare as hens teeth. Remember PC companies go with the cheaper spring loaded drives.



    Expect 2009 at the earliest.

    It's definitely not a positive no, and it's definitely not a positive yes.



    I would think it would come a little later, maybe for next year's MacWorld or WWDC.

    I don't think Apple will offer blu-ray standard anytime soon; I mean heck, even now the baseline macbook doesn't even have a super drive! I think blu-ray will be offered as an extra (expensive) option first in mac pros, and then trickling into the other lines. But standard? no way. There is just no need/demand for it yet from the majority of the market.

    I think the superdrive will be around for a bit longer -



    I'd love for the new MBP's to have an option of no Superdrive and a 2nd HDD bay instead \
