Early Potential and Portability for Mac Blu-ray Player Now equipped with a Matshita UJ-267 internal Blu-ray drive, my MacBook Pro can now take full advantage of watching my Blu-ray discs courtesy of Macgo’s Blu-ray player. The 1920 x 1200 screen looks amazing when watching or working with full 1080p video. The 17″ Unibody MacBook Pro is an ideal candidate for both internal Blu-ray drives and the Macgo Blu-ray player. My test machine is a 2.3 GHz 17″ Core i7 (quad core) February 2011 MacBook Pro, and the version of Macgo Blu-ray Player as of this writing is version 2.4.0. Obviously, for desktops, an external solution isn’t as big of a problem, so with that said for the purposes of my discussion and review of Macgo Blu-ray player, I would like to focus on the experience it provides users of portable machines. This limited Blu-ray playback to external drives on these late model portables, which needless to say isn’t an ideal solution if you are traveling.

Mac Blu-ray Player has been around now for a little over a year, but until the UJ-267, which I recently reviewed, and the UJ-167, which both arrived mere weeks ago, there were no internal Blu-ray drives for the Unibody MacBook Pro.
