Hi,

Is the Blu-Ray drive on the GT780 a Blu-ray writer?

I suspect it's a combo, writes DVD but reads Blu-ray only.

Thanks

Daryl
 
There's gt780r that comes with bluray writer for $1799 at newegg. Which is pretty good deal considering most vendors charge like extra $170-$200 for bluray writer over regular $1649.99 price. If you want gt780 with bluray writer, I think the one on newegg is way to go.
 
It is not a combo drive and does not read Blu-Ray. It's the same for the GT683. You'll either need to buy the laptop with the Blu-Ray reader, or upgrade after purchase. I couldn't find a GT683 in stock anyplace that could read Blu-Ray, so I'm currently searching for a upgrade path. I was just about to post here asking when I saw your post.
 
I wasn't clear, the GT780 I have has a Blu-Ray drive. I just watched a movie on a Blu-Ray disk.

What I wasn't sure was if it could write to Blu-Ray disks.

In the Device  Manager, it says it's a HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CT21N in the Friendly Name field.

after googling BDDVDRW it seems that it is a Blu-Ray burner.


Daryl.
