LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support & Blu-ray ROM
- LightScribe means you can make images directly on the disc cover, need special disc for this. - Can read Bluray disc, which usually means FullHD movies. - Can do everything SuperMulti DVD±R/RW Double Layer can do, read/write dvd/cd |

1. Brand - Any.
2. Budget - Best value. 3. Usage - Internet browsing, Skype and maybe some Microsoft Office documents viewing and editing. 4. Size - Best portability. Thanks! |
