Default I sold my Toshiba Notebook

It was nice a notebook. It gave me no problems. But I couldn't take it anymore.

I got an HP but without the HD-DVD option.

Grats, that's dedication.

I went with an Apple and kissed M$ bye-bye. If I had a non-apple I would go with Linux.

I'm planning to get HP Pavilion HDX (but with HD DVD due to higher spec - Intel T7500, and there is no option to change it to DVD), in less than a month but I have Panasonic UJ-210 BD-RE burner ready to replace it. I plan to make a video, in which after the process is complete, I will throw the HD DVD drive to the rubbish bin, and upload it to youtube.

not another one of this..... I love to see that thing. Some silly people queue during PS3 and wii launch just to destroy it. I particularly loved if they did it to hd dvd/xbox.

I thought HP was neutral, do they not sell Blu-ray drives on laptops at all?
