Dell doesn't offer Lightscribe in notebooks?
Is this true? I was nearly sold on the new Inspiron E1705 (whish is a really nicely done computer btw), however when I went to customize it in the order, it didnt mention Lightscribe as an option. It seems that as a entertainment/multi media oriented notebook, this would be an essential. It was for me anyway, I'm now forced to look at other brands. At first I thought maybe there wern't any notebooks that offered it. But then I found that HP offered it for most of their notebooks. Oh well. Sorry Dell, youve lost my business. Unless someone can show me where I missed this important feature...

Important?
LightScribe is a gimmick... Low-quality labels compared to printable DVDs printed by an inkjet, extremely expensive media compared to standard printable DVDs.
Few manufacturers other than HP (who created LightScribe) support it.
Expect that in a few years the LightScribe features of a LightScribe-capable drive will become useless as LightScribe-capable media becomes hard to find, just like it's impossible to find DiscT@2 media now.
If LightScribe is so important, then why do a total of *3* different DVD+/-RW drives out of 30-40 sold by NewEgg support that feature?
