Hi folks
Can anyone help me suggesting where I can get a cd writer that plays dvds too (non techie here, can you tell?)
My friend has a 4 year old IBM thinkpad i 1200 series, 1161 model. It only came with a cd reader so she is now looking for a cd writer & would like to watch dvds too as she doesn't have a telly.
We really want to know if any newer model thinkpad drives will fit her old laptop, then at least I can look on ebay for models other than the i1200.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
