Does anyone have any experience with ANY laptop that has a Blu-Ray
drive?

No... but it should behave like any other dvd drive and not need any 
extra drivers to be able to read a disc.

I did spot that the latest dvddao seems to have Blu-Ray support 
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/dvddao-2.0.4.zip

Here is a chunk of readme:-


DVDDAO is a simple command line tool to burn various CD/DVD/HDDVD/BluRay 
disks.

DVDDAO supports writing to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL,
  DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, BDR, BDRE.

DVDDAO supposed to support writing to HD DVD-R, HD DVD-RW, HD DVD-RAM 
disks, but its untested.

Currently DVDDAO does not support multisession.

DVDDAO writes to CD/DVD/HDDVD/BluRay the image file containing the 
desired filesystem, not the arbitrary files. To create such image one 
can use i.e. mkisofs utility.

Also DVDDAO can copy image from CD/DVD/HDDVD/BluRay to hdd, verify your 
media, do the read quality check, copy from one CD/DVD/HDDVD/BluRay RW 
device to another CD/DVD/HDDVD/BluRay RW device on-the-fly and finaly 
copy files accross ordinal partitions with splitting and joining ;)



Let us know how you get on  :-)
