I have a Dell laptop the DVD drive of which has stopped working. I have another Toshiba laptop with a working DVD drive. Can I remove the DVD drive from the Toshiba laptop and install it in the Dell one? Are all internal DVD drives of the same size so that they can be changed from one laptop to another?

1) What is your budget? (INR)

40k

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

15 inch, not too heavy.

3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook?

Web surfing, making reports (An eco masters student will use it), No gaming

4) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?

None specifically though I have used Lenovo y50 so far. After sales service is good to have.

6) Anything else you would like to say?

900p if possible would be great. Also a non ulv proccy will be godsend! :)

Thanks in advance!

I have a Dell, but it's very heavy. When I need to take it to the classroom, I am very reluctant. So I want to change a laptop for me. First of all, it must be easy to carry, and not prone to error. Who can recommend a laptop? My friend recommended a Toshiba laptop to me and let me read this site. Best Laptop for College Students in 2017 Buying Guide What do you think of Toshiba laptops? I'm still hesitant.
I would like to change a laptop, who has a good idea? Please hurry up to help me.

GST Impact: Mobiles, Computers to Get Pricier, Gaming Seems Unaffected

and will most likely increase to 28 % after GST .. PC parts will see a bigger hike in price because it was low till now ..

My laptop's DVD drive has stopped working, so I will have to buy an external DVD drive. I'll need one that can boot a Linux Live CD, and I'll be burning DVDs now and then. Any suggestions on which one to buy?

It's a Dell laptop. A local shop has Transcend and LG External DVD writers for Rs. 1650. Are the external drives of all brands pretty much the same or are some better than others?

BTW, I booted into Diagnostics at startup and performed a check for the DVD drive, and it passed the test. I don't know what exactly is wrong with it. As soon as I pop a DVD in, nothing happens, no spinning or anything. If I double-click the icon in explorer, it ejects the tray and asks me to insert a DVD. Using a tool (I've forgotten the name) shows "no media present" (even after inserting a DVD). I've searched on Google and tried a few remedies, but nothing worked - I don't have the upper / lower filters entry in registry which is recommended to be deleted; I've tried cleaning the lens; I've tried moving the head to reset itself - but it still won't work. If you have any other suggestions, please do tell. :)

How will GST affect External DVD drives? Prices will increase / decrease? I checked online but prices seem to be the same.
