Does this laptop(asus n56vz-xs71) have a blu-ray burner or just a blu-ray reader?

According to Cnet, this has a BD Writer: http://www.cnet.com/laptops/asus-n56vz-xs71-15/4507-3121_7-35387435.html I just called Asus support however, and the person I spoke to said they have no record of the XS71 model but Cnet is pretty legit. The support guy could have been wrong.

Dear E. Hamilton, good morning. I confess you this All-in-one was a big disappointment for me, because I expected a quick and efficient machine and it wasn't what I found. It does not read blu-ray and the dvd/ cd burner stopped working since the beginnig. I do not recommend it for you. Best regards, Edney

This device (model BC-12B1ST) cannot write to Blu-Ray, but it can write to the various DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW formats. The BW-12B1ST (note the second character is the model name is "W" vs. "C") is Asus' equivalent Blu-Ray writer. I have one of each, and am very satisfied with them both.

Yes that is absolutely correct! It come shipped with both cards inserted and I can confirm that a Bluray burner does come in a separate package. There are no installation disks in the box. Unfortunately my power cable didn't come but I'll contact them to see if I can have one sent. The computer exceeds all my expectations, even with the missing cord (not power brick, cord) it is fast if you google around you can find ways to get the SSD to cache quicker. I will be dual booting, maybe triple booting too. If and when you buy this laptop, check the description and to make sure it says you are getting this bundle. It's model 59375627, any other one is a different configuration. Hope this helps! Yes that is absolutely correct!

I don't see "Blu-Ray" on the specs but do not need it. My primary concerns are with digital photos so I wanted the 750GB HD plus wireless and the 6GB of RAM was a bonus.

For Blu Ray and regular DVDs, I use the "LG Burning Tool" software that came with the LG burner, and it works great. Good luck!

Optical Drive Mystery: Why do some owners/reviewers of this laptop say they wish it had an optical drive when one is listed in the specs provided by Amazon? The specs say DVD-RW. Strange huh?

This model does not. If you want a Blu-Ray reader, you need to order it from SONY's website...

I got it to read DVDs and CDs after a week of frustration. Win 8.1 Pro 64bit had installed it twice with the 2006 Microsoft DVD/CD driver with both instances hidden in Device Manager showing both as not connected. I uninstalled both and rebooted it reinstalled and is working now. I haven't tried burning anything or playing Blu Ray disks. I've seen in some forums that Win 8 doesn't provide software for viewing Blu Ray and that you need a third party app.

Blue ray reader. Dvd/CD writer. But what they don't tell you is that if you have an older monitor, as I do, you can't play blu rays on it anyway. It has to have some security function.

No you must have a blu-ray burner. Blu-ray burners will burn DVD's, but not the other way around.
