I bought this Inspirton 1525 last December.
And I want to know if it has a blu ray player already installed.



Answer
Does the CD/DVD rom say "blu ray" on it with a little logo?

"Intel Celeron M 550 (2.00GHz, 1MB Cache, 533MHz FSB)

Windows Vista Home Basic

15.4" WXGA (1280x800) Widescreen Display

2GB RAM DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz

Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100

160GB SATA 5400rpm Hard Drive

Internal 56K Modem and Integrated Ethernet 10/100 Network Card

**********8X Dual-layer DVD+/-RW Optical Drive****************

Dell Wireless 1390 (802.11b/g 54 Mbps)

Media card 8 in 1 card reader

Input and Output Ports: 4 USB 2.0, HDMI, VGA, IEEE 1394a, RJ11,
RJ45, 2 headphone, 1 microphone, 1 ExpressCard 54mm slot, 3 mini-
card slots, consumer IR, S-Video

6-cell Lithium Ion Battery

Unless you custom ordered it i doubt it came with a blu-ray player. You can pick one up online, in the laptop form factor for about 189.99 to 239.99$ depending on where you shop

External full sized burners, USB interface run about 169.99-200.00$


Your intergrated video card "Intel Graphics Media Accellerator X3100" May also not be fast enough for blu ray playback, Could end up with Chops,lag and tessellation errors since its the bottom o' the bin VGA card.

But it is a dell afterall :P

How do you watch Blu-ray movies on Windows Vista?

I just go REPO! The Genetic Opera today, and I have the Blu-ray edition. I was just wondering what software I can use to play the movie on. Windows Media Center or Windows Media Player?


Answer
Vista (Ultimate) can view regular DVD movies without the add-on codec (i.e. a program to play movies), but it will not do BR.

Not only you will need a BR drive, you'll need a very fast computer (at least a dual-core), plenty of RAM and a dedicated graphic card (not the built-in one on the mother board).

PowerDVD 7.3 Ultra and PowerDVD 8 Ultra can play BR movies (7.3 can play HD-DVD movies, as well).

----------------

This is what it says on the box:

Due to the high computation requirement for Blu-ray discs, PowerDVD playback requires a high performance PC platform that is capable of maintaining 40 Mbps transferring of data. It is recommended that you use a system with at minimal of Intel Dual Core 3.2Ghz processors and 2GB RAM system memory (Quad Core CPU is supported.) Discrete graphics solution is also required with at least 350Mhz clock rate with 256MB VRAM. Even if you met minimal requirements, you may experience some video quality drop, frame drops or lower performance. It is recommended that all non-critical applications be closed before beginning Blu-ray Disc playback. Full CPU clock-rate is always reserved for PowerDVD Blu-ray disc playback and cannot be disabled.



Download their program to see if your system can handle a BR movie.
