<p>[QUOTE="Rickideemus, post: 112899, member: 12677"]I like a laptop for DVD play. I can't stand the little 7" screens on most portable DVD players, but I want something portable.

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.
