Can anyone advise me,

what is the best dvd/rw to have that is compatible for a laptop ?

when I mean best, the price should also be taken into consideration ?

If you want to have a DVD/RW on your laptop you will probably need to buy an external one that plugs into your USB port.

I would think any external USB drive would be compatible with a laptop. There are loads of makes, so you need to search sites like dabs.com and so on.

Something like this (I am not saying this is the best, just an example)

Note the company who made your laptop may sell one that goes inside your laptop case to replace the existing drive, but it may be expensive.

I would go down the external USB route.

It alldepends on wether you want an internal or external drive?

I have used Lite On in the past with my desktop PC but that burnt itself out, am now using a Sony and im pretty happy with it - the price will differ as it was for my desktop. i am currently using Medion with my laptop, but have not used t to its full capacity just yet.
Have a chat with PC World - they have always given me excellent advice.

good luck

you could try www.ebuyer.co.uk or overclockers.co.uk
for some exelant deals - I'm using a LG-dvd-rw-ram drive and what a fantastic bit of kit
