    I am hoping to take advantage of the VAT back Samsung offer and have probably the dumbest question ever and hope you will go easy on me.

    The RF711 which I am looking at has a blu ray player, my question is can it also record CD and DVD's. I like the idea of blu ray but not at the expense of being able to record CD's and DVD's. I understand that the laser is different technologies but maybe the drive has two lasers.

    Also anyone think the laptop is OK?

    It's normal for the Blu-ray drives to be able to read and write DVDs and CDs.
