I have a Lenovo ideapad 110 and can't find a blu-ray drive for it. Now I ask myself, are all laptops actually suitable for a Blu-Ray drive or can only certain laptops read Blu-Rays? And if you need a special program for this, or are the normal video players (or VLC players) enough.
The drives work in principle with every PC.
If you want to play movies on Blu-ray Disc: for protected discs you will need suitable software for playback.
Can you recommend a program?
My old Sony Vaio VPCCA (Green Poison Dwarf) is now almost 10 years old and he has a Blu Ray burner in it. For most drives, the front plastic can be removed and plugged in from the old drive to the new one. Is usually fixed with 2 plastic hooks, so handle it carefully the things break off easily. So you can put almost every drive in a laptop (Slim). Would you stay with me around the corner would be done with a cup of coffee. Then I would have already changed the drive to the fast. There are external drives but often the bandwidth for transferring data to the USB port is the problem. Under USB 3.0, it would be useless to use a BD LW. Also anticipates USB 3.0 on the laptop. My old sony Vaio has a USB 3.0 socket already.
It has been my experience that for laptops that shipped only with a CD drive, installing a DVD drive did not work because the BIOS did not support it. More details can usually be found in the manual for the motherboard or laptop, which drives are supported.
USB 3.0 has my laptop. So that's not the problem.
Mine came with DVD drive anyway. In an emergency, you can indeed send the drive back. I just wanted to ask in advance if maybe someone has gained experience. Especially with the ideapad.
Let's hope that then the USB 3.0 chip in the external LW is compatible with the chip in your Lappi and delivers good transmission performance. Is not always the case, already several times experienced suffering.
Well, I'll remember that then. In an emergency it will be sent back.
