I hope I am wrong on this thing, but I was considering buying a Z60t and upgrade the optical drive later since it only comes with CD-RW/DVD drive. But BOY! Do they charge!! $250 for a DVD burner drive? Is Lenovo out of their mind or what?

Anyway, I want to know if there is a 3rd party solution to this. Much thanks.

Btw, please no external drive.

No 3rd party solution other than an external drive.

And yes they are out of their mind.

I was complaining to a Lenovo rep about this last week.

I am talking multi burner, you are talking combo burner.
they are dufferent story.

100-150 is usually second hand UJ-822 or older module.
even UJ-832 is over 200.

What I offered is new UJ-842; then, what are you talking about?

Allright, no fighting here

So this is the latest drive for ultrabay slim? You mention about 3 pcs, so I suppose this requires some kind of assembly, is it? just trying to find more info about this.

oh... 3pcs means I have few in my home...
actually it just plug and play.

no other driver needed, just install to your drive slot.
