As far as I know my drive is NOT blueray. It is labeled as 3D capable so I asume that is in DVD mode. One sure way of determining if the drive is Blue Ray is to check the drive door for the Blue Ray symbol. A "b" with a backward "C" underlined with the words "Bluray".

Hello! I bought this Nero2014 for the very same reason. Out of the box, I was able to play Blu-Ray movies, however, after a software update, this ability was stripped away! I contacted Nero, and after much delayed email support, they emailed me diagnostics software to run. The diagnostic software created a file to email back to them for troubleshooting. They responded back to me that my graphics card is no longer supported. I have an HP Envy 27" that I bought in April 2014, with both an integrated Intel graphics card and NVIDIA graphics card. The system automatically switches based on graphics need. Externally, I have an Optiarc (Sony, the inventor of Blu-Ray) BD-RW drive connected via USB.

It will play blue rays with the proper BD playing software. I use Windows 8. Also it will run cd's and dvd's as well in any OS. As for the Tablet I would figure as long as it has a USB port it should work. It does take 2 ports though so you might want to get a usb hub.

It will handle Blu-ray without any problems. I never tried gaming on this card, but you can be able to play some light games and maybe some new graphic demanding games at low settings.

It does have built-in graphics with a video out including HDMI. However you can't compare the performance to a true separate "graphics card"

No, but it has DVI and VGA. I had to buy a DVI-to-HDMI cable, which works perfectly.

I can tell you that it plays standard Blu-ray disks (I do not have a 3D capable system) on a Computer with 32 bit Win XP using the software suite that came with my video card. It is important to have a video card with an HDMI output or a DVI output, what ever matches the available input connectors on your TV, OR the necessary adapter.

The manual lists Blue-ray discs among the ones that CANNOT BE PLAYED. So, no it won't play Blue-ray

Hi, please refer to the HP web site for applications; however, they do not list all compatible laptops as some of the product reviews have mentioned. Hence, that will be your second reference--the reviews. I do know that it does not have an HDMI port--DVI at best. I just looked at mine. Hope this helps.

This player does have a Blu ray player and writer on it. If it is not doing so you may have the connection hookup incorrect. Also you must have a mother board and good enough graphics card to use the writer portion.

It should work just fine but if your computer is still IDE and you should also look into getting a better graphics card for your computer for it to play blu-rays and you can find ones that will work just fine on amazon for around $25-$50

Yes. However this model will not burn DVDS but will write CD-R and CD-RW formats and reads standard DVDS. I do not believe it can support any HD (blue ray) video formats as is.

According to the installation guide, it will play Blu Ray but it says nothing about writing to Blu Ray. It says to use HDCP compatible display and VGA card to get HD digital output. I would contact Asus direct or try http://www.cyberlink.com
