    Correct me if I am wrong but I can't find any Lenovo laptops w/ Blu-ray. If this is true, does anyone know why and when they will appear?

    Blu-ray as been offered on ThinkPads since the R61. The drive from the R61 is the one I have in my R60. Since the T400 days, Blu-ray drives have been offered on ThinkPads. 42T2517 for example is the part number for the BD-R on the T400/T500. The T510 et al have both Blu-ray readers and burners options I believe. My guess would be either low demand, supply or both as to why you're not seeing them more often. Since I don't work for Lenovo, your guess is as good as mine as to when you'll see them again. If you want to get a ThinkPad with a Blu-ray drive, the place I see them most often of late is the Outlet and you can search there by optical drive. There's a R400 in the outlet right now with a BD-R drive.
