Several computer manufacturers have voiced support for the Blu-ray format, and Dell is one of them. To prove it, they’re releasing a laptop with an included BD drive. The XPS M1710 is a Media Center laptop with a 1920 x 1200 resolution.

It doesn’t come without a cost, however. The 2GB RAM laptop with 100GB HDD costs $4,249.

The big thing, though, is that there’s no HDMI output. That’s a shame - how are you supposed to hook up the laptop to a high-def display?
