Oh, look! The Inspiron Zino has a *tray-loading* DVD burner! Of course, it's Inspiron, not Latitude. Why it's like a multi-color Mac Mini with a huge fan!

Zino has no FireWire; Mini does and can be easily modded to use eSATA. The Mini can connect to HDMI with a DVI-HDMI cable, so direct HDMI and HD is no big deal, but you have to use your own speakers, as if a monitor with speakers sounds all that good. Or you can connect either one to a big screen LCD/LED/plasma TV.

And who wants Blu-Ray anyway? Get a life! I'll take the Mac Mini over this one any day--and add color myself--or not.
