i made the mistake, four years ago, of buying an hp laptop with a 15" screen because i thought it would be cool for dvd's.
from www.amazon.com
the sound is awesome: i set it to headphone in the speakers setup and the speakers plays much louder than the default 2 speaker stereo setup.
from www.amazon.com
it doesn't have an internal cd/dvd but i get along fine , once i loaded "my" software.
from www.amazon.com
it have no cd-drive, but you can mount a virtual one, and watch some movies in iso, the intervideo that comes with it works perfect.
from www.amazon.com
other than the dvd rom, it is almost perfect for road warriors.
