Panasonic has presented a prototype model of a notebook with built-in Blu-ray disc player at the CEATAC Japan 2005 trade show.

The drive is a multi-function DVD/Blu-ray recorder, with the ability to record and play Blu-ray discs as well as recordable DVDs. Sony is also displaying Blu-ray recorders as part of a Vaio-R entertainment system that contains a separate DVD-R drive.

Competitor Toshiba presented its HD DVD notebooks at the event, but said they won't be out in retail soon.
