Most netbooks do not have a CD/DVD drive because mainly of the dimension limitation. With a size as small as a portable DVD player (a thickness of about an inch) where can you fit in a DVD drive? So is there a netbook or mini-laptop model with a DVD drive?
Answer: Yes. So far, there are two. The first one is the ASUS Eee PC 1004Dn. It has a look similar to that of the Eee PC 1002HA, but it has the a disc drive that could read and burn DVDs and CDs. Cool huh! The problem is, the American market may not see it soon. It may be released in China and Europe.
ASUS Eee PC 1004Dn specifications/features:
* CPU: 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280
* Display: 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixels
