Does this computer have a Blu Ray player?

For some reason...no. It has a DVD-RW drive. Good question that most people may overlook. It should either say "Blu-Ray (or BD) Burner" or "BD-RW (ReWritable)." If you're not looking to write to blu-ray, it should say "BD-ROM" or just "Blu-Ray drive."

Only if your model came with a Blu-ray player, most only come with a DVD/CD player. If you look at the player itself, if there is a Blu-ray symbol there, than it does Blu-ray movies, otherwise it does not.

To be honest I haven't played any blu-ray disc in it yet. So I can't really help you with an answer, sorry

Have not tried a blu ray player. It does work we'll with digital signage players, servers, pc's, and xbox consoles.

PC Blu Ray drives are generally backwards compatible with DVD. They can play DVD's.

No, it has a DVD SuperMulti drive. It will play DVDs, but not Blu-ray discs.

Yes it will play Blu rays. The software with it is not a full suite but you can use Windows media player in Win 8.1 for music. I use a third party program for Blu rays as the one included did not allow for movie playback.

No it does not. I bought an external bluray drive for $80. Love the computer though. Great purchase.

Yes, blue-ray players also play dvds. I wouldn't have gotten a blue-ray player if it didn't.

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".

Software is not included in this listing - you will need to download or purchase a blu ray playing software

Sadly no, it doesn't However, since it has Full HD you can always download Blue Ray stuff and watch them

I don't have any Blu-Ray discs and cannot find any reference whether or not this computer will play them. I assume that it does not.

The standard optical drive is a dvd/cd, it does not have blu ray support but you can install one that does. It will come with a battery and AC Adapter.

yes it does. but the outputs are limited to the optical and HDMI. I am happy with that. others may need to check out other options for a blue ray player.

their website tigerdirect.com says "Optical Drive Blu-Ray Player", no mentioning of BD-RW or Blue Ray Burner. This is another BS from Asus actually, they should list each custom spec on their website. But they just put generic model information only.Same issue with Wireless ac, some has it some don't and can't be sure.

It does play Blu-ray Disc (BD). I always discard bundled software because they are all bloat/ads-ware offering what I don't want & need. Download no-charge VLC Media Player, and it plays BD movies great!Windows Media Player also plays BD movies, but I much more prefer VLC Media Player.
