HP comes with 2 new CD-writer drives this month. This because they want to make money with the 'hype' of downloading mp3 files...
The HP CD-Writer DVD Combo 9900ci drive is an internal drive for reading DVD discs, downloading MP3 files and digital images, and making and playing CDs. It costs $349. |
HP is throwing in DVD player software with this for a limited time - so users can play DVD films or multimedia games on a PC.
The other offering is a speedy internal drive - the HP CD-Writer 9710i lets users write 650MB of data, around 74 minutes or audio to a CD, in around five minutes. It costs $299.
Both drives, which add to HP's other four internal and two external drives, should be available in the US this month.
I don't immediately see how my CD-Writer can download .mp3 files, but hey, I'm always open to new technology
