So last night I just realized that my brand-spanking-new laptop does not actually have a CD-Rom drive. It’s actually kinda funny because one would THINK that I would have noticed it when I bought it THREE MONTHS AGO or that I had checked the specs before buying it, but that’s besides the point… ;)
Needless to say now I’m looking at external CD/DVD/RW Burner drive that I can just plug in the USB port and I was hoping that maybe you guys could give me some guidance. I honestly know NOTHING about CD/DVD/RW drives and have always just used the ones that came with previous computers...
Because this caught me by surprise, I’m just looking at the really really cheap ones (
like this), but I have no idea what else I should consider outside of inexpensive…ness…
Can I just buy the cheapest one I can find, or are there other factors I need to consider?
I have a Dell Studio 14z - 2.1GHz - 320GB - 3GB - with Windows 7 as my OS.
Thanks so much for your help, in advance.
