Should I buy a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM drive?

Choose a DVD-ROM Drive Instead

Even though it is tempting to save money by buying a laptop with only a CD-ROM, it is a good idea to spend the extra money on a DVD-ROM. The reason for this is because a DVD-ROM can play a CD, as well as a DVD. However a CD-ROM can only play a CD. If given the option, to purchase a CDRW/DVD-ROM combo, go for it! Having the ability to burn CDs and watch movies using only one drive is an added bonus!
