No, this does not have a Blu Ray drive. I suppose you can put in one if you want. You can play most modern games on it though.

Yes, it does play Blu Ray. This is a great laptop. I have more than pleased with it. Let me say though, if you are using it for gaming, make sure to turn on the fan boost. It gets hot quickly and starts to slow down. I have a stand with two extra fans for when I am doing graphic intensive work. With everyday use, no heat problem. Great laptop. Have fun with it.

Yes, using the unit's DLNA feature you can view photos from the laptop. Please ensure you have DLNA compatible software on your PC. http://shop.panasonic.com/docs/how-to/2013/video/2013_Blu-ray_How_to_Walk_Through_DLNA_Operations.html

Yes but you will also need a software like CyberLink PowerDVD to play the Blu-ray movies, which is not included with this purchase, this is only the hardware to read the Blu-ray disk you still need the software to play them. I have had mine for a while now and I love it and I have had NO issues at all with it.

Yes, I have successfully played DVDs on this model. The user manual says it plays DVD-video, DVD-R, DVD-R DL in addition to Blu-ray. It also plays CDs, SD cards, and USB media.

No, but there are about a dozen differnet versions of this machine on Amazon - I'm pretty sure one of them has a Blu-Ray player. Or buy directly from Dell and choose what you want.

I have not used my computer to play dvd's. I have down loaded a Netflix blu-ray for a friend and it viewed extremely high def.

There're no specific processor requirements for using the drive.You may need a decent CPU/Video card for watching blu-ray movies though.

You can install windows 7. I recommend updating the ram to 2GB beforehand. The unit is capable of playing Blu-rays from an external player, so I imagine it should play the hauppauge files as long as you have software that will play it.

It should work just fine but if your computer is still IDE and you should also look into getting a better graphics card for your computer for it to play blu-rays and you can find ones that will work just fine on amazon for around $25-$50

PC Blu Ray drives are generally backwards compatible with DVD. They can play DVD's.

Yes, it does but Windows has programs built-in that will play them. The LG Blu-Ray player is much better and their technical support is much, much better than ASUS!!!

I saw the 'Blu-Ray Drive' in the Technical Details as well.The laptop was priced $849.00 when I ordered it on 11-30-2010.The laptop was delivered (2 days late) on 12-11-2010 WITHOUT the Blu-Ray Drive. Just a regular DVD Drive.I checked on Amazon.com and there was no mention of Blu-Ray Drive anywhere (they must have removed it) and the laptop is now priced $729.99!Amazon customer service is denying they ever advertised that the product features a 'Blu-Ray'drive !!!
