I have blu-ray equipped PC notebook with a HDMI output connection and I was wondering if the output quality would be equivalent to a stand alone “blu-ray player” when both devices are connected to a HDTV via an HDMI connection?

Before they put blu-ray drives in PCs, they had standalone drives that performed to Sony’s industry standards.
With an HDMI cable and a decent HDTV, you shouldn’t notice much difference whether you’re playing from a standalone drive or one build into a PC.
In my own tests, I’ve noticed a 90% correlation in the output quality of both devices.
Tough to say.
The PC uses the CPU and the video card to generate the video. The BD player uses a dedicated video processor.
I would expect the BD player to be better, but you never know.
No Blu ray players for the home are given all the best TECHNOLOGY inside. Where as you laptop could be made to a price. Blu ray sucks anyways
