Does it have to be a laptop?

At this years CES they announced portable players out this year.

Just out of curiosity: why would you want a small laptop to use for watching your Blu-ray movies?

At this point, I do not think you will be able to find a full laptop that supports blu for less then that price point of the portable player.

A quick search at Dell lists 3 models that have Blu players but they all started over $1000. HP has a few also in this price range.
