HP to launch desktops with Blu-ray / HD DVD combo writers?

via Engadget


Regrettably, there's not a lot to go on just yet, but DigiTimes has it that HP will soon be launching "next-generation PCs with a Blu-ray / HD DVD dual-format burner." The announcement was reportedly issued at a product presentation held in Singapore, and while no model numbers were doled out, we can purportedly expect the two-faced machines to land in Europe and America sometime next month. Notably, HP has hemmed and hawed between formats in the past, but we're all for a rig that burns (and reads) both.

Mmm that should be an amazin bit of kit if u can afford disks etc, but the machine will cost u an arm.........mebe ur leg too?

nice feature but the writer alone will cost more than the laptop
