Help Buying a Portable DVD

4suzie

I need some help to buy a portable DVD please it's for myself as I travel by train a lot I thought it would take the boredom out of the trip.
I would like one with a usb connection if poss and a 10 inch screen and a decent battery life I would prefer one that would go back to where I was on the film after stopping play.
I was looking at this one but it doesn't tick all the boxes.

Wouldn't you be better off with a netbook, Kindle, or tablet computer?

Thank you for your help penrhyn and mchale.
I have had a good look round and thought about other options and have decided to go with this it ticks all the boxes they have one at Amazon for £91.99 so not much dearer than the Bush one at argos.

Paid £130 for an MSI U135DX Netbook. Much more versatile than an ugly standalone portable DVD player. It's no accident that they omit to mention the battery life of those things.

Netbook every time for me.

They might not be happy ripping DVD's though

You won't see a "decent" battery life out of anything that has to power/spin up an optical drive for any length of time (eg, watching a movie).

I bought a good quality Philips DVD player about 4 years ago for about £200 and it was a good buy with 10" screen and 5 hour battery life. But I now have a 10" Netbook with about the same battery life and it's a much better choice. You do need to be able to obtain the film / music files to transfer to your DVD-less Netbook via flash drive.
