By Bill Pytlovany<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve written before about the coming death of the CD\/DVD\u2019s for data storage. While that time hasn\u2019t come yet for desktop there is one realm where CD\/DVD players are no longer needed. If you\u2019re getting ready to purchase a new laptop the one place you can really save is by shopping for a machine without a CD\/DVD player. Not only will you save cash, but you\u2019ll also save big time on weight and energy consumption.<\/p>\n

What about Installing Software?<\/b><\/p>\n

One of the benefits of a CD\/DVD player has been for installing new software that is sold on disc format. In these days of broadband access, it\u2019s more common to install entire applications from the web. If you\u2019re using a home network with any other computer that has a CD\/DVD then you already have one. It\u2019s a simple process to set any CD\/DVD as a shared device. It can then be mapped to your laptop so it behaves like a local device. Windows 7 makes it even easier.<\/p>\n

What about listening to music or watching movies?<\/b><\/p>\n

My guess is most of you have little devices called iPods, MP3-Players or Smart Phones that store plenty of music and even play movies. Why would you use all the power on your laptop to play a movie off a DVD when you can read it off an alternate digital storage device. If you don\u2019t have one now you\u2019ll be able to afford one by not purchasing a CD\/DVD on your new laptop.<\/p>\n

Invest the cash you save<\/a><\/p>\n
