NEC ND-6650:
This slim lightweight package for demanding laptops packs quite a
punch

A DVD and CD burner for
the latest generation of laptops must meet several requirements. Of
greatest priority is a high level of write and read performance for DVDs
and CDs. Next, and equally vital, are minimal space requirements and net
weight.

Our ND-6650 meets the
requirements of both laptop manufacturers and users alike: With a minimal
form factor, a height of only 12.7 mm and a feather-light weight of a mere
190 g, its impressive performance numbers match this compactness, with DVD
read speeds of 8x and CD read speeds touching 24x.

Its write performance
proves to be equally impressive: Users can expect write speeds of up to 8x
for the DVD-R/DVD+R formats, up to 6x for DVD-RW and up to 8x for
DVD+RW.

The components of this
burner bear the label 'lead-free" and thus already meet recycling
standards
that will come into effect on January 1, 2006.
