    Hi,

    I'm just wondering should I add a DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive option

    with this? I know that it's only $49 to upgrade but from my

    experiences on few Dell's Labtops with a DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive

    seems to have problems after few months. I'm not saying Dell's

    Labtops have problems, just the DVD/CD-RW Combo Drives.

    If you need one, buy it. It's covered under warranty if it breaks.

    Isn't it better to get a standard DVD Drive for the notebook,

    and get an external DVD-RW or CD-RW?

    Mobility is important, but Dell is well-known for

    their HDD and DVD/CD-RW combo drive failure.

    So I am being cautious getting DVD/CD-RW combo drive.
