One of the build options for a laptop I'm looking at buying is DVD vs
Blu-Ray. I've never used Blue-ray before, so is there some compelling
reason, as a Linux guy, to want to get Blu-ray?
The decision isn't that simple. As others have pointed out, the "no
optical drive" option also needs to be considered.
I've considered that, but the folks who designed the laptop didn't.
The choice is, as I said, either Blu-ray or DVD. Of course I could
tear out whichever came in the machine, or simply not use it ever.
But I figure, since it's there, I may as well see which would serve
better, and for what. Hence the post.

If the DVD is not a writer as well as a player, it's not a good deal at
all, but BluRay is worse--are you
actually going to watch movies on a laptop?
