Default How soon will my Blu-Ray laptop become absolete?

I am thinking of buying Sony FZ 4000 CTO. It will have 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo (6MB Cache), 3GB RAM and a GeForce 8400M GT (256MB VRAM), 15.4" with 1280x800 resolution.

How long can this machine keep up with playing the latest Blu-Ray movies? Will future Blu-Ray movies require more poweful GPU, CPU or more VRAM than 256MB? Does Blu-Ray system requirement keep going up at the same rate as 3D computer games?

Already my other system that has 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo with GeForce Go 7400 (64MB VRAM) couldn't keep up with the latest Blu-Ray movies. It has a problem playing the latest movies encoded with H264. The CPU utilization reaches 100% and as a result, the playback is not very smooth. While GeForce Go 7400 is not officially listed as the one capable of playing Blu-Ray movies, it is still relatively a new card. I bought it a year ago. So, I wonder how long my newer system can keep up with Blu-Ray.
