    Where can I buy a dual layer DVD writer for my HP ZV6000 laptop? HP online doesn't sell it. Is there any after market writer that fit on this laptop? Thanks.

    Any standard slimline burner will fit, but you may or may not be able to swap the HP bezel onto it in place of the standard flat bezel. No great loss there IMHO. I prefer NEC drives, and Newegg has them on sale right now. I put an older model NEC in my zv5000z.

    NECs are the best in my opinion. I saw a LG drive recently that was impressive.

    Is there anybody know for sure that the bezel can be swapped on ZV6000? I went thru Newegg review and didn't see anybody there tried on ZV6000. I wonder how my laptop looks like with the flat bezel.
