Today Dell introduced their newest Inspiron 1525 with optional Blu-ray Disc playback starting at only $879. Dell's Inspiron 1525 features a 15.4-inch high definition wide aspect display with 720p resolution. An added HDMI port makes it easier to connect to high resolution displays and HDTVs, and creates a notebook for today's movie buff.
The Blu-ray player disc drive is fully backwards compatible and will both play and burn traditional DVDs and CDs. Broadcom Media PC technology allows the notebook to play high-definition video. The high-definition video playback is enabled through a built-in dedicated accelerator located in a mini-card slot.
Like every consumer laptop from Dell the Inspiron 1525 features their Dell MediaDirect technology. This technology provides one button instant access to media files, even when the system is switched-off or in hibernate. Dell's newest notebook is available in several designs and can now be bought in the US, Canada and Europe.
Are you a movie buff? And, if so, is this the product you've been waiting for?

If you select the Blu-Ray drive, it adds $250.00 to the price.
The key phrase in this article is "...starting at only $879..."."
What's your point? You can buy the laptop, including the Blu-Ray for $879.00.

If you go to Dell's website and try to buy a 1525 *with* a Blu-ray drive, it will cost you *$250.00 MORE THAN $879*. The article's title is misleading. "$879 Blu-ray laptop from Dell" is not a true statement. You cannot buy a Blu-ray laptop for $879. You can buy one with a regular Cd/DVD drive for $879, but adding a Blu-ray drive will cost you at least $250.00 more. And that is just a Blu-ray player. If you want a Blu-ray burner, it will cost evenmore that an extra $250.00.
