Dell's New Under-$1,000 Blu-ray Laptop

Dell Debuts Sub $1,000 Blu-ray Playing Laptop
We assumed that following the collapse of HD-DVD the rapid price drops on Blu-ray equipment would at least slow down. At least Dell is out to prove us wrong, offering the first sub $1,000-laptop with a Blu-ray drive.

For $879, you get a Inspiron 1525 with a 15.4-inch HD wide screen, 1-gigabyte (GB) of RAM, a 120-gigabyte hard drive, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a Blu-ray player / DVD burner (sorry, no burning of your own Blu-rays here).

Best of all is the included HDMI port for plugging your (relatively) cheap-o Blu-ray playing media PC into your HDTV.

All of this is available now from Dell's Web site or here.
