"TONY RAMIREZ: Hi, my name is Tony Ramirez and this is the high-definition movies and players. So you're investing in all these new high-definition DVDs which is Blue-ray and HD DVD. And you want to take them on the road; of course, most of these laptops nowadays all have DVD players in them. So you can get any DVD from your collection, take them on the road; take them on the plane whatever you gotta do. So what about high-definition DVDs? Well of course laptops, there are new things out there. Sony Blue-ray right now has, of course, Sony laptops with Blue-ray built in, there are Dell laptops and there is also let me see here, a Panasonic laptop that will be coming out soon. These all have the Blue-ray disc players built-in. These are just the players not the burners. This will play your Blue-ray, DVDs, CDs, data, things like that. Now also, of course, there's HD DVD laptops; these right now are with HP, Toshiba, Acer and Aces. So if you want to take your HD DVD content out on the road with you these are laptops you're going to have to use. Of course, Toshiba seems to be the one backing the HD DVD more that anything else so they probably have the better disc drive and compatibility built into those computers. But if you want to take your high-definition movies on the road with great sound and great picture quality you're going to need either a laptop equipped with the HD DVD or a laptop equipped with Blue-ray disc playback. Those are your laptops."
