Dunno if this is a hot deal, but I've been thinking about buying a DVD burner for my laptop. Came across this and picked one up.
NEC ND-5500A $148

4X +R/-R/+RW/-RW 8X DVD 24X16X24 CD (think Newegg has the CDR speed wrong, listed as 16X), don't know if there's MRW support.
Dell uses the 5100A in their notebooks. Mechanically the same thing, but it doesn't support the - format. $230.
Given the difference in price though between the two and Dell is usually inexpensive, seems like a decent deal to me.
