can you play hd dvd on a ar51e if not why is there a hdmi port on the laptop?
Hi jimmy999 and welcome to Club Vaio.
Although the AR51E can process and export Hi Def content, the optical drive fitted in your model (to keep costs down) cannot play Blu-Ray or HD DVD.
You could try buying that HD-DVD USB thing for the Xbox360, some have said it works perfectly in Vista.
