are you sure? the other laptop even having a less powerful graphics card has faster CPU speed (.13 more GHz i think) , 512mb more ram in the graphics card, a higher L2 cache by 3mbs.

Your question while a good one is a bad sign. If the vendor won't answer basic questions like these pre-sales then imagine after the sale. This can't be a good sign.

But yes, all known BR drives can play DVD movies if the software and REGIONS are proper.
