   Yes, *if* it has a Blu-ray drive (built-in or externally attached) and   
   if you have Blu-ray capable playing software installed.   
      
   Apple never bothered with Blu-ray due to the expense of the licensing   
   and the "fact" that discs were supposedly on the way out and being   
   replaced with downloading and streaming. On Macs you'll need to buy an   
   external Blu-ray drive and get some player software - I'm not sure   
   which is considered the best these days and it will depend on which   
   version of MacOS you're using.   
      
   I don't use Windows computers, but it's probably a similar situation.
