13" Laptop w/ Optical Drive?
My daughter's been using her i6000 15" laptop for 4 years now, and it's on
it's last legs. We went to BestBuy to look at the different form factors, and I showed her the Dell Studio 15" that I mentioned in an earlier post, but she wants someting smaller and more portable to go from room to room. She really liked the 13" format, but we only saw one (Sony VGN-SR520 G/B) that had an optical drive, which is a must for CD/DVD. Can anyone recommend other 13" laptops with optical drives? Thanks |

Thanks Does it have to be 13 inch? As 12 and 14 inch are likely more easier to find. And you also know these smaller screen sizes (with the exception of netbooks) the price goes up greatly, right? -- Bill Gateway MX6124 ('06 era) - Windows XP SP2 |

Hi, Bill, An optical drive is a must. A 12" would be alright if it had an optical drive, but I'm not aware of any with an optical drive. Smaller = $$$, yes. |

Thanks Thanks to all that responded. My daughter finally settled on a Toshiba Satellite U505-S2970. http://tinyurl.com/yavvlnd We picked it up today and configured most of it except for Windows Live Mail. She still needs to decide if she wants to use WMP11 or another media player. As a former XP user, she's got to get used to Win7, and she's going to bang on it for a week or so, to see how it (hardware-especially CD/DVD functions) performs. I'm not familiar with Toshiba, so I can't help as much as I used to. Thanks again. |
