LaCie ships USB 2.0 Slim Blu-ray external burner for $265

Still slinging a laptop with USB 2.0? Fret not, as that’s all the bandwidth you need to handle LaCie ‘s Slim Blu-ray burner. As the title implies, the new unit is little more than a nicely styled external BD burner, designed to tag along with your ODD-less netbook / ultraportable and provide Blu-ray burner / viewing enjoyment at a moment’s notice. $264.99 gets you the device itself, CyberLink’s Blu-ray Disc Suite and a two-year warranty, and if you’re curious about toasting speeds, it’ll write to a BD-R at 6x (dual-layer at 4x), a BD-RE at 2x and a blank DVD at 8x. The rest of the nitty-gritty, as well as a purchase link, awaits you in the source.
