    Hi, out of 2 Lenovo notebooks I have questions about the DVD/CD specifications: What's the difference between CDRW/DVD Combo & DVDRW?
    I'm not really too concerned about it - as long as I can play both CD's and DVD's. I'm not gonna do any recording or anything like that. Just wasn't sure about the difference between the two. Thanks, Greg

    The CDRW/DVD plays CDs/DVDs and writes CDs. The DVDRW plays CDs/DVDs and writes both CDs and DVDs.
