    I've been debating between basically a Macbook Pro, Sony AW, or Asus n80nv for ages...I had been leaning towards an AW until 1) Nvidia's new drivers don't support them, and 2) Nvidia's reference drivers work fine for everything...except Blu Ray playback. So...I guess that's basically out.

    So I need to know, can anyone tell me about Blu Ray playback on the Macbook Pro with an external drive and Nvidia's newest drivers? I know people are playing Blu Rays on the MBP, but I don't know what drivers they're using (whether Nvidia's updated drivers work) or if it works okay to an external monitor, or that type of thing.

    Anything anyone can share would probably be helpful as I'm confuzled :confused: :(
