Panasonic Unveils New Thinner Blu-ray Drive


Posted December 27, 2007 by Josh

Panasonic is set to unveil a new Blu-ray drive at CES that will be the thinnest laptop Blu-ray drive yet. Panasonic's previous laptop Blu-ray drive was 12.7mm thick. This new drive, which has the ability to read and write Blu-ray discs at 2X, as well as read and write DVDs and CDs, is only 9.5mm thick. No additional information was revealed at this time, but we'll have all the juicy specs live from CES in just a couple of weeks.

I have a feeling this year's CES will be very interesting.

Agreed, the BD insider has already stated this AND that a "major retailer" is considering blu exclusivity.
