Several leading suppliers of laptops announced their multimedia machines that feature HD DVD optical drives in the recent weeks. The new laptops allow watching high definition movies and become available just in time for consumers to consider them during holiday season.

Acer, Asus and HP released their consumer-oriented laptops that feature HD DVD drives in the last week or two.

So far Toshiba and Sony have also released their laptops with next-generation optical drives: the former utilized HD DVD drive, while the latter used own-developed Blu-ray drive. Along with the recently unveiled notebooks with HD DVD, there are now four manufacturers who use HD DVD and only one that equips its machines with Blu-ray discs.
