Burning DVDs?
Why would I want to burn DVDs from a netbook? They're generally used for content consumption rather than generation surely? I have a desktop machine with a DVD burner - the netbook gets used for general web browsing, watching films on plane journeys and watching TV/iplayer in the kitchen. This drive seems to fit exactly that usage pattern - while I probably wouldn't bother with it for watching films, it might be useful for such things as reinstalling Windows, since installing Windows from USB is a pain in the arse.
