Today
LaCie announced the latest versions of its Portable DVD±RW Drive, design by Sam
Hecht. Now with a sleek black finish, the award-winning LaCie Portable DVD±RW
includes new multimedia burning solutions, allowing users to piece together
sophisticated movie, music, and photo projects in a matter of minutes –
creating customized CDs or DVDs wherever they go.
Featuring two versions for easy setup and seamless compatibility, users can
choose from the multimedia burning solution for Mac or PC. The Windows® version
comes with Creator Suite 10, while the combined Mac® and Windows version comes
with Toast 9 Basic, as well as Creator Suite 10.
Additionally, it is USB bus-powered so only one cable is needed to start
burning CDs and DVDs. The 8x drive is less than an inch tall and weighs under a
pound - fitting perfectly into a bag, backpack, or briefcase.
"With the popularity of lightweight laptop computers and netbook
solutions, which often exclude optical drives, users need an ultra-portable
DVD±RW solution that will allow them to play, save, and share their multimedia
collections," Christelle Dexet, Mutimedia Product Manager. "The new,
black, Sam Hecht Portable DVD±RW offers mobility, simplicity, and of course
style – without compromising the key features that complement their computing
systems and their lifestyles."
The LaCie Portable DVD±RW drive is equipped with LightScribe – an innovative
technology that allows you to burn silkscreen-quality labels directly onto CDs
and DVDs with a laser instead of a printer.
Availability
The LaCie Portable DVD±RW will be available in versions for Mac and PC, through
the LaCie Store Online, LaCie Reseller+ and LaCie Corner, starting at the
suggested retail price of $89.99 VAT included. For more information, visit www.lacie.com.
