Dell to offer Blu-Ray drive on their laptops
Dell has announced that they would now start offering Blu-Ray drives on some of their notebook products.
The company said that the XPS M1710 consumer notebook will now feature a Blu-Ray drive. This format has been developed by Sony and offer expanded storage capacities when compared to regular DVDs.
Marc Spier, senior manager of Peripherals Marketing at Dell said: “Blu-ray Disc technology will give small and medium-sized businesses a storage tool that will allow them to back up and archive their data for 10 or more years while also enabling them to back up [an] entire hard drive onto a single medium. It gives them a capacity advantage in the corporate space.”
The company added that this laptop would also support playback of HD feature-length films.
Spier added: “This technology could allow Hollywood studios to grow, as many of the major Hollywood studios support the format, with an abundance of feature titles being announced in the near future.”
