Can you watch dvds with this laptop?

Definitely, and you can connect it to an external TV too. I had been using it a lot to watch DVD movies on it.

Yes, this laptop comes with Multiformat DVDRW/CD-RW drive. You can play CD or DVD.

No, you'll need a PC to have any functionality. It's a simple external DVD "Drive" and not a "player" of any sorts.

Yes. It has Windows 7 on it. It works just like any other computer, it's just in a little package. It does not have a slot for a DVD.

Hi Steve, Thanks for your interest! Regrettably, this laptop does everything but play Blu-rays. A person may watch regular DVD movies, record music and video, read and write CDs and DVDs in multiple formats, plus load apps with the SuperMulti DVD burner. We hope this helps, and we hope to get your business soon.

Hi,It is very easy to use. Just plug into the USB ports on your laptop and activate/play your DVD (note that this player comes with a double USB port connector, so it is helpful if your computer system has double USB ports side by side, if not, it will be helpful to get a multi-USB port device).

No. Not unless you have an hdmi cable connection between your PC and your tv with the player >> usb >> PC >> hdmi >> tv, but at that point, it's your laptop that's playing the DVD's/Blu-Ray.You'll also need a codex playing software for your PC for Blu-Ray and the drivers for the player for your PC.

No.. It only plays videos from DVD... USB will allow pics to be shown an screen captured.... Nice unit but limited

Not as it is, for it lacks an optical drive. You can separately buy an usb DVD burner, as I did.

You could, if you bought an optical drive separate to put in this laptop. Ordered as-is, it doesn't come with an optical drive (CD or DVD-Rom).

If the tv has hdmi and the computer has mini dvi then yes you can view HD movies.

Okay, didn't know that your laptop didn't already have a drive built in that can play DVDs. Anyway, here is what I would try and/or recommend: 1. Hook up the external DVD drive to your laptop via an USB port. 2. Run an HDMI cable from your laptop to your HDTV. 3. Re-direct your laptop display to your HDTV (essentially use your TV as an external monitor). *** Each TV is going to have different settings. On my Samsung I just have to select which HDMI port that I have the HDMI cable plugged into. If the laptop display doesn't automatically redirect I press FN (function key) and then F8 on my dell laptop. Other laptops are FN (function key) and then F7 I believe.
