Best NetBook External DVD Drive

[gherbie111]

can u use it for games

[FreeCompConsultant]

@gherbie111 I would guess it might depend on the game, but it streams DVD's sufficient for playback so I would suspect it would be fine for most games.

does it work with windows 7 starter

[FreeCompConsultant]

@sheepy55894 I have never had the displeasure of working with Win7 Starter but I would suspect it would. All you need is USB suppoort.

[alexngkm]

Those facing problem, install codecs would help... Google around for more answers

[alexngkm]

Those using Windows 7 Starter, never ever forget! The only bottleneck in W7S is that you can't watch DVD movies with Windows Media Player...

[sheepy55894]

@alexngkm so do u have to download something else to play it on

[rob1997ify1]

thankyou so much

[ipod16gen]

Does it work with computer games

[FreeCompConsultant]

@ipod16gen No reason it shouldn't, works with everything else

[mikela486]

is a notebook laptop w/out a dvd rom can play a external dvd rom w/ a usb??????? plss i need an answer....

[FreeCompConsultant]

@mikela486 Maybe I don't understand your question; with this USB DVD drive, a netbook with no CD/DVD drive can play, record, even boot from CD's and DVD's

[mikela486]

@FreeCompConsultant thanks after all all i wanted to know is if i can use that usb dvd to reformat my laptop

[FreeCompConsultant]

@mikela486 Should be able to, check the BIOS for the boot settings, or better yet, invoke the boot menu (sometimes the ESCAPE key or F8, F12 - depends on brand) during startup

[mikela486]

@FreeCompConsultant thak very much 4 your effort and kindness

[hotdexter55]

[FreeCompConsultant]

@hotdexter55 Click the link in the description and you will be taken right to it. Price may fluctuate otherwise I would post it here.

[FreeCompConsultant]

@hotdexter55 Actually there are several models, different colors, etc... prices do vary..

[klooger28]

what are the system requirements for one of these? im trying to fix a friends laptop which is really old, has 750mhz cpu and about 200mb of ram, would it be able to use one of these?

[FreeCompConsultant]

@klooger28 Needs USB, preferably USB 2.0, preferably Windows XP or above. Check manufacturer specs to be sure. Sounds like it's SO old, it may not work _easily_.

[klooger28]

@FreeCompConsultant well it has 2 usb ports taht i could find (although i highly doubt its usb 2.0), and it has windows xp. Im starting to think that its not actually that old but just a really really low end model for mabye 5-6 years ago

Did this guy do the voice of Kermet the frog? :-S ha

[LilRiceEater]

I really need one! ....but I have no money... :(

[TheFunnyman223]

i love netbooks and your absouloutly right this is the perfect companion but i can't find one on the local electronics stores websites what should i do.

[FreeCompConsultant]

@TheFunnyman223 Click the link in the description of the video - take you right to it.

[TheFunnyman223]

hey thnx for the help but i was wondering would it work to install games off a disk

[FreeCompConsultant]

@TheFunnyman223 Works just like any CD/DVD drive. Install whatever.

[d1jal]

So with this, i can play the latest video games from DVD's? I'm getting the AlienWare 11X Notebook, then i realised AHHHH no disc drive. With this being external, will it affect the speed of reading from the disc for Video games?

[123abc484]

Can you use it to watch Region 1 and 2 movies? (PAL and NAfTa) Or in other words can I watch a european movie and then a North American movie without running into reading problems???

[FreeCompConsultant]

You would have to look at the specs

[dawhitecastle]

I have the Toshiba NB205, and was between the toshiba drive and this samsung.. i cant decide, any advice?

[Skilhgt]

@dawhitecastle Get the toshiba as it will work with your laptop because its toshiba
