Can anybody recommend a good and Inexpensive external dvd player for my Ibook. I don't need a burner just a decent player to enable me to watch dvd's on my cd-rom only ibook. Its a 700mhz white model with 640mb of ram.

Thanks.

longarm,

I did not know you could say external, Mac, and inexpensive in the same sentence. :eek:

I do not know of any straight DVD-ROM drives, but ASUS has a slim line drive. It is a USB 2.0/Firewire CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive.

The price in the U.S. is $159.99 for the SCB2408-D. (Figure the price should be around £159.99 the way pricing in the U.K. seems to go.)

Take Care,

Richard

Thanks richard. I've also found a slim freecom model at £170 so I'll look at both. If anybody else has any suggestions then they'll be greatly received.
