Laptop DVD Drive and the At-Home Theatre
Why queue in the rain for the latest movie when you can tuck your own private picture house under your arm?
Most laptop computers have a floppy drive and some sort of CD or Laptop DVD Drive built in. Because of space constrains, some smaller models offer a slot where you can swap the floppy with a Laptop DVD Drive.
Highly recommended is to splash out a little extra cash to buy a portable computer with a Laptop DVD Drive pre-installed. This may add around $100 to the cost of your machine. An external Laptop DVD Drive (or ‘writer’) will run to almost double that, and the extra hardware makes it less convenient to watch your own private movie show in a cramped space like an aircraft seat or on a commuter train - ideal for couch potatoes and hotel room movie fans, though.
Standard CD-ROM drives are hardly ever offered these days in favor of DVD-ROM drives. So always opt for the plain DVD-ROM drive.
If you already have a laptop with an internal CD-ROM drive, you can take the CD-ROM drive out and replace it with a Laptop DVD Drive, provided you find one that fits your enclosure. But you must also have a decoder card like, for instance, Margi DVD-To-Go.
Best deals on used Laptop DVD Drives are available through comparison engines like BizRate.com, and hardware stores for laptops. Stores that specialize in used laptop parts include ComputerPartsGalore.comused/, SEParts.com and ComputerSurpluesOutlet.com. There are many others and mention of these few should not be considered an endorsement of the companies’ products.
But wherever you shop, a Laptop DVD Drive will transform your computerized companion into a traveling picture show and turn tedious journeys and lonely overnight business trips into an adventure.
