There are severnal reasons:

1. The optical drive is relatively independent device for computer, supports plug and play, ne need install any driver programs mostly. So, it is easy to replay.

2. More and more people think the opical drive is useless, since you can dowload data and watch movies online without buying physical optical disc. So the optical is regarded as a optional part not like hard disk, cpu or motherboard which are neccessory for laptop.

3. When you think the optical drive is useless, you may buy a 2nd hdd caddy to replace it, then your laptop can have two hard disk, you have more storage capacity.

4. The optical drive is easy to break down since the laser lens in it is very fragile. You have to replace it when it is defective.

How do you get a label out of an optical drive that has come off a CD?

The best thing would have been prevention - it is a common mistake to attach inappropriate labels to CDs/DVDs, only to have them flung from the spinning disc right into the workings of the optical drive. The only label that should be attached to an optical disc is the kind designed to be attached to an optical disc. However, now that the label has taken up residence inside your PC's optical drive, you have two approaches to removing it. You can try to snag whatever you are able to see/reach of the label with a pair of tweezers. This will be difficult and you must beware of damaging components inside the drive. It would be far easier (if not as apparently simple) to remove the drive from the PC and strip its housing- the label or its many sticky little bits will be plainly visible and easy to remove.

Which is better a laptop or a netbook?

A net book si basically a mini laptop.The main difference is the size. The netbook is very portable and easy to take anywhere Laptop and Netbook are pretty much interchangeable. They are a more normal PC as such. Laptops and Netbooks nowadays have pretty much the same capability as a regular PC, with similar processors, similar capacities of memory and disk space and integrated optical drive. Netbooks are much smaller; they all come preloaded with the OS so there is no need for you to install it. These are intended as ultraportable machines and compromises are made for their small size. The screens are smaller, the processor tends to be less powerful and the disk drive tends to be smaller capacity and usually solid-state. They also lack an optical drive since there is no room in the case for one. Intel atom based processors Netbook is a great little piece of technology, lightweight and easy to take anywhere. www.electrocomputerwarehouse.com
