you probably picked a bad example their, as there's a lot of commonality in laptop optical drives and I've interchanged several and bought generic drives for £25 to replace failed units where the branded item is £60+ and is actually the same thing from the same OEM. Personally I think lack of competition is the only rational explanation why putting a 50p part in a laptop costs three figures.
