The giant personal computer manufacturer Dell has announced that it will begin offering its Inspiron 1525 notebooks with an option for an internal Blu-ray drive, and that configurations will start at $879 USD.
The only hitch is that customers will need to select a processor that is non-Celeron and at least 1.83GHz processing power. Of course, if you are trying to add Blu-ray to your configuration you are most likely looking for a nice computer.
The base price for the line is $499 USD and adding the cheapest eligible processor and the drive adds $380 USD to the price. Be noted that the drive can only read BD and if you want burning capabilities then the price jumps another $200 USD.
Besides the drive the system has a 15.4 inch display that has up to 720p Resolution. Also notable, the system has an HDMI port.
