Default External BR Drive question
So, for the past 4 years I have been using my HP desktop as my region-free DVD/BR Player. I use a combination of DVDFab Passkey 9 and Cyberlink PowerDVD 16 with no major playback issues.

I will be relocating shortly to a much smaller home and instead of lugging my huge monitor and 20lb tower with me, I figured it would make more sense to cop a laptop. Well, I started looking online earlier for laptops and much to my surprise, a lot of companies are... er... have ditched optical drives!? This is news to me.

I guess my question or really my concern is, will an external BR drive offer the same quality, speed, overall performance if connected via USB compared to internal drives connected directly to the motherboard?
Maybe that's a silly question. I dunno seeing I have no real experience with external drives minus.

- I only intend on using the drive for video playback. No ripping.
- DVD upscaling is important also.
