    Would any of these have a "Burner" in them? Description is vague.. I copied it from the Dell configuration website on the D630 Latitude section.. Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

    The third one (with Roxio burning software) is a dual-format DVD burner. The others would appear to only read DVDs, not write them (hence the lack of burning software included with them).

    That also explains why the third is the most expensive.
