[QUOTE=&quot;Rickideemus, post: 112899, member: 12677&quot;]I like a laptop for DVD play. I can't stand the little 7&quot; screens on most portable DVD players, but I want something portable. I also like to take screen shots, and sometimes take notes or play games at the same time I watch a DVD in the corner. But I've had varying results with different lappies. Some don't have the tracking circuitry to stay on track when DVD is less than perfect, or recorded with another computer's DVD-R/W program. Some won't play region 2 and up after an initial dozen or so free trials -- even if you have the right codecs. (They build protection right into the hardware.)The one laptop that's worked out best has been my Inspiron E1505. Plays everything I can throw at it and stays on track. Has nifty control buttons on the front with blue florescent glow. The one I have is Vista business, and I ain't gonna upgrade -- might stop working! Really cool. Got it for $55 on eBay, heh, heh.Rick[/QUOTE]
