The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
They did add the option to burn to a Blu-Ray Disc in Final Cut Pro. I don't think it'll take that long for them to add a Blu-Ray drive BTO option. There isn't really a need for computers to have Blu-Ray drives since only movies can be used with the $150 add-on right now, and the internet is replacing optical drives, anyway. When's the last time you installed something from a DVD other than a game (even games are slowly becoming more popular to download)? I think that optical drives will be eventually gone all together in twenty years from now.
Still, Blu-Ray is a nice add-on for watching movies on your computer, but you're better off just getting a standalone Blu-Ray player to watch BDs on a much, much bigger HDTV. If you have a HDTV, that's really the best way to watch movies. Blu-Ray is far superior to typical movie download services at the moment, though the quality of those services should match Blu-Ray disks in two years.
