Stoopid question..

But will my Dell Laptop play DVDs? I'm thinking ahead to our plane trip next month...

Probably. It'll need to have a DVD drive, but most do these days.

Yeah I have the DVD drive. I can't test it at work though. I"m going to test when I get home.

If it has a DVD drive you should be golden.

Saweeet! And here I was looking into a portable DVD player.

I guess I could have googled it.

Just a warning, but my DD like to pound on our portable DVD player...and computer. Luckily, the DVD player has a hold button. Your child is probably not as wild as mine (this has just happened recently). But it might also be better if it is on your DH's lap. I am usually flying by myself. I'm rambling now, but anyways, beware of her banging on your laptop while your trying to play her a movie!

Not sure how long your plane trip is, but another benefit of a portable DVD player is battery life. My old laptop would last about 40 minutes if I was playing a DVD. I had a "cigarette lighter" power cord so I always made sure I booked a seat that was in a row that had the plug (www.seatguru.com).

The portable DVD players last a lot longer (and they typically come with the plug for the airplane).
