No, Apple hasn't finally caved into their high end users' demands and offered a Blu-Ray option on their portable line. Aftermarket specialist Fastmac has, however, and is offering the 50Gb Optical Disc upgrade on all of Apple's recent laptops and consumer desktops:
iBook G4
iMac G5
iMac Intel
MacBook Pro (17-inch)
Mac mini
PowerBook G3 Pismo
PowerBook G4 Titanium (667 Mhz or higher)
PowerBook G4 Aluminum
The $1000 pricetag is hefty for the average Joe, but if you are in the making-movie biz and need to do work on a laptop, this is almost a no-brainer.
We are not sure we'd want to drop a G on Blu-Ray for an iBook but we can't wait to see the 17 inch HD screen enabled playback version of the device!
