Looking to buy new PC with BD drive... - Blu-ray Forum

cpgator · 09-24-2007, 04:35 PM

I have been looking around for a PC with a read/write BD drive. I probably won't be watching movies on the PC, but I do want to be able to edit and burn home HD video from a camcorder (don't have the camcorder yet). I am trying to find out I need in the PC to be able to do this smoothly.

Any recommendations?

I know Gateway sells Blu-ray drives, and I have had really good luck with their desktops.

That being said I don't know if they are any good for editing Blu-ray recordings though.

best get HP.
Pavilion m8100. you'll get LG's BD burner/HD DVD reader. For the second drive, don't choose HD DVD, choose DVD writer

or, if you want to avoid HD DVD altogether, get Dell or Sony (beware: overpriced)
