Plextor has announced an external USB powered Blu-ray drive, PX-B120U which allows you to easily add Blu-ray playback capability to your existing laptop or old desktop PC, which doesn’t come with a built-in Blu-ray drive. The Plextor USB Blu-ray drive is slim and portable, made to travel with you anywhere you go. And it’s completely powered by the USB port of your computer, which eliminates the hassle of having to carry an AC adapter with you.
The PX-B120U USB Blu-ray drive also comes bundled with the Cyberlink for Blu-ray and DVD playback, which is a software that lets your computer handle Blu-ray and DVD playback. The portable Blu-ray drive can also work as a standard DVD-ROM drive that reads DVDs and CDs. The best is it’s priced around $100, a price that most will consider for adding Blu-ray playback capability to their existing laptops, so they can enjoy Blu-ray movies on the run.
