The bees are a lie. Silly Winco.
---------------------------
And so we go, on with our lives
We know the truth, but prefer lies
Lies are simple, simple is bliss
Why go against tradition when we can
Admit defeat, live in decline

You may be able to play Blu-ray, but you won't be able to watch them at full resolution.* The internal screen is only 1600x900 while full HD is 1920x1080.
The aspect ratio is all wrong so you won't even be able to watch the video edge to edge without distorting the picture. =\
*(unless you hook up an external display that has that resolution)
117 woots and counting, since 2007. Don't ban me, bro!

8.19lbs! Holly crap Batman! Ok price for an almost decent laptop. Will work great for people who don't do much more then email and web surfing. If you do creative media of some sorts, I'd hold out for a better laptop.

Here is another review that really brakes it down. Kinda sad 
Does it brake hard? Can it stop on a dime? :P

Did you get a warranty replacement? I keep telling people that if a machine shuts down on it's own or the power adapter burns you, it's not normal! They don't believe me even when I tell them I've been supporting computers since 1995. There, I aged myself.

Agreed. It does have an HDMI port for external hook ups. (For those who did not notice).

I will be passing on this and am going to get the DV5 series with 14.5" screen and the I3 processor. It is slightly cheaper and will have a year warranty vs the refurb 90 day warranty.
I wasn't to keen on the i3 processor tests. This AMD processor out paces the i3 processor.
