Apple fans have been waiting for too long for the company to finally bring Blu-Ray functionality to Apple Macbooks. It seems Apple is finally softening its stance and getting ready to take the plunge. It’s just a rumor at this point but CNET is reporting that the recent changes in iTunes indicate that Apple is getting ready to bring Blu-Ray to Macbooks.
Let’s not kid ourselves. Steve Jobs has bee vocal about the licensing issues of Blu-Ray, and the technology may die sooner than its predecessors. At the same time, Apple can’t just keep ignoring this market. New laptops are now entertaining blu-ray players and writers which means Apple Macbooks will be in a significant disadvantage without these players. Apple computers are great, but at some point you can’t justify not having a blu-ray reader/writer. The challenge for Apple will be to introduce Blu-Ray devices without increasing the prices too much. After all, Macbooks are already premium laptops.
When will be see Blu-Ray on Macbooks? The earliest chance will be on WWDC. That’s going to be one exciting event.
Your take: would you like to see Apple add Blu-Ray to its Macbook line up.
