As far as I know, my laptop is not designed for Blu-Ray. This is really annoying because there is a certain film (whose name I shall not disclose) I wish to purchase which should have had a DVD release last year, but for whatever reason it was cancelled (even though other parts of Europe did get it). I have however learned that the same film is coming out on April 2nd on Blu-Ray.
I can find nothing on my laptop that suggests it is compatible with Blu-Ray. However, every source I have found on the Internet that either confirms or denies compatibility has suggested that my laptop is compatible with the Blu-Ray format, albeit (according to one source) without the HD advantages Blu-Ray offers. This doesn't bother me much if at all, considering the film is, to my knowledge, not in HD anyway.
So do you think it will be a success? I don't want to buy a Blu-Ray player for the sake of one film that Amazon are accepting pre-orders on for less than £4; if nothing else, I have no Blu-Ray discs (otherwise I would just try it and find out).
My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5742.
