The new low-end HP computers standard have a CD-rewritable drive build in.
 On Tuesday, the company added three new PCs with CD-RW drives to its consumer Pavilion line. They sell for $699, $1,099 and $1,599, though none comes with a monitor. |
The inclusion of a CD-RW drives is meant to capitalize on the popularity of recording music onto CDs, as well as backing up data and storing photos. Offering CD-RW drives in low-end systems is something the market hasn't seen much of, NPD Intelect analyst Stephen Baker said.
"CD-RW drives in systems aren't new. But in entry-level systems, starting at $699, that's something you don't see traditionally," Baker said.
Good move. Will CD-RW become the new standard, while DVD is too expensive (for now)?
