    Mine came with DVD and I would like to upgrade.

    I noticed that it's slot-loading drive and probably more expensive than the regular types.

    can someone share their experience in upgrading the drive, i.e. compatible make and model and such?

    and possibly a link from which I can buy one?

    thanks
