Just wondering if the external blu ray player that hooks up through usb will be true 100% blu ray high definition, just like having it internally from the factory?

Answer
yes it would be if the xffer is fast enough. if its 1080 you may need a usb 3.0 but why dont you just download them in ts and watch them with gom or vlc player

Blu-ray upgrade for Dell Inspiron 1525?

Q. I just bought a Dell Inspiron 1525 Notebook from Best Buy and I realized it has an HDMI output, so I now have it hooked up to my Toshiba Regza 42" HDTV and would like the abilitiy to watch Blu-ray discs. It seems like replacing the optical drive for the laptop would be the most cost-effective way to bring me into the blu-ray era, but I can only seem to find, from dell anyway, the blu-ray burner. I don't need or want to pay the extra cash for that until I can find a price on just the player. (If you build it through Dell, they charge $150 for the player upgrade but $450 for the burner) Can anyone point me to a dell part number or the drive (e.g. the burner is a UJ-220) that dell uses in the laptops it ships when you custom make it?
Just fyi, this is my system:
160 GB Samsung Hard Drive
Intel Pentium Dual CPU T3200 @ 2.00GHz
3.0 GB Ram
32 bit OS
Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
Intel High Definition Audio HDMI

All help is greatly appreciated (btw, i know I bought a laptop from a box, keep non-constructive criticism to yourself.)


Why not stick to the question?

Answer
why not try looking for an external blu ray player that plugs into a usb port
