Sony will release a notebook next week with a built-in Blu-ray Disc drive for playing movies and recording video in high definition.

The Sony Vaio AR Premium will cost $3,500. Along with a Blu-ray drive, the notebook will come with an Intel Core Duo processor, 1GB of memory, a 17-inch screen and a complimentary copy of the movie "House of Flying Daggers" in the Blu-ray format. Sony is taking preorders for the computer on its site.


The Blu-ray drive in AR Premium records is high definition, but it records video from camcorders. Sony, like other Blu-ray manufacturers, is working to prevent these machines from becoming vehicles for piracy.

SSSSSSSSSSSSsnooooore. What was that again? Sony releasing VAIO AR series with Blu-Ray?
Why are you making so much noise about an already established technology. For your info, Sony released a
laptop with a Blu-ray drive in June 2k6. Man your news is stale with a capital S. I use a Sony FZ series with Blu-ray technology;
got that last year by the way.
