Blu-ray Sales Not Spectacular in PCs

Hmm...

Maybe Apple was right to (so far) sit out the whole Blu-ray in the PC movement. According to a recent article from Computerworld, Blu-ray players are only found in 3.6% of currently shipping PCs, and it doesn't appear that consumers are demanding the addition of Blu-ray.

While it might become more of a factor as/if Blu-ray adoption continues, but right now, do you need/want that extra definition on a laptop screen with tiny, tinny speakers? It's probably not high on the priority list for most. Citing numbers from iSuppli, they project only 16.3% of PCs shipping in 2013. DVD-RW are in the lead right now, and given their, well, re-writability, that will probably be the case for some time. By 2013, we should all be on 3D Blu-ray and, Apple hopes, digital downloads.

Do you think Macbooks should have Blu-ray?
