Does the MacBook pro support blu ray and flash player?

I think about getting a MacBook pro as a working laptop and for private use. It's important that I can use blu ray and the flash player. So does the MacBook pro support both?

The MacBook Pro does not support BluRay. You may be able to utilize an external player and associated software to play a BluRay DVD. Flash does work on a McNook Pro.

Until now, I know MacBook Pro does not support Blu-ray. But with the help of a third party software - Macgo Mac Blu-ray Player and a Blu-ray drive, Blu-ray disc is available on Mac right now. Here is the detail about this Blu-ray Player Software

Jobs loathed Blu-Ray and his ghost continues to do so. Thus the New Deal is "Get all from the web and have a sealed Mac" and the drive-less Retinas. But there are a number of alternatives to get your Hi-Def video on the Mac from the stack of disks in the blue cases, as mentioned above.


As for Flash, works fine provided you keep it updated to minimize risk. The product is downloadable from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ When the latest is installed, a new perfpane will pop up in System Preferences, where you can configure updates and other stuff.
