Observer Comments
It is taking way too long for Apple to offer Build to Order Macs with Blu-Ray.
Also they need to have a new line of video cards, adapters and monitors which are HDCP compliant.
For apple to present themselves as the computing creative leader and people not be able to play back blu-ray movies on their laptops and other devices is utterly pathetic
