Dell Offers $879 Blu-ray Laptop

Dell has added Blu-ray drives to its colorful line of Inspiron 1525 line of notebook computers. I just went to the Dell site and it seems you can already order an Inspiron 1535 15" laptop with a Blu-ray Disc Combo (DVD+/-RW + BD-ROM) drive for as little as $879.
They sell this colorful line of laptops for as little as $499. (For that price you get a Celeron processor with Vista Home Basic, but it will be pretty.) Too bad they don't offer a Blu-ray drive with the Ubuntu systems. I doubt that Blu-ray's DRM would be compatible with Ubuntu.
This makes a compelling choice for anyone considering diving into the Blu-ray market right now; especially if you were also in the market for a computer. Set top Blu-ray players still start at $399. These laptops have HDMI ports so you could hook them right up to your main living room system. There are concerns about battery life when using Blu-ray, so if you use the laptop as your Blu-ray player, you would need to plug it into AC power. Since it is a PC, you should also be able to upgrade the Blu-ray firmware to Profile 2.0, which should be a major consideration if you are thinking about a stand alone Blu-ray player right now.
