Forums - PC - Blu Ray player laptop battery hog...

Does anybody have any idea when these Blu Ray players on laptops will be more energy efficient? I know that it was a similar problem for DVD players, but it was handled eventually accordingly.

I'm looking at some of the Sony laptops, and I was told that the Blu Ray players are still battery killers.



My laptop lasts about 2h 30m on blu ray which seems decent to me.

Sure....The ability to work, communicate and entertain yourself on the go is definitely useless. I mean I could just carry around my desktop and monitor for same effect.

That is playing a Blu Ray movie for that long? If so, that seems pretty good.
