    Hey all.

    Are there any alternatives to buying lenovo's ultrabay slim blu-ray burner for a W500? I don't think it's worth the insane sticker price. Thanks in advance!!

    I think you'd have to go with an external USB BluRay drive because I think internal BluRay drives end up costing more when not selected when buying the laptop. At least with the current UltraBay DVD drives in the T Series, buying them separate off of Ebay or other places tends to be more money than getting them included.
