Panasonic DMP-B15 Portable Blu-ray Player

Overall Rating:

Retail Price: $799.99

Amazon Price: Too low to display

The bad: Very expensive, with Blu-ray-equipped laptops available at similar prices; bulky design; short 2.5 hour battery life; small screen limits the capability to see the full detail of Blu-ray; can’t output a standard 1080p signal; less reliable playback than standalone players.

The bottom line: The Panasonic DMP-B15 is the world’s first portable Blu-ray player that can function as a standalone player, too, but ultimately it has too many caveats and costs too much.
