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 some 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!
