    I started shopping around for a replacement CD burner for my laptop, but it seems they're all 24X
    Can I buy an internal laptop CD burner than can burn at 32x or 40X?

    I guess not.I just checked newegg.com nothing over 24x for cd's and 8x for dvd's .

    or you have to go external if you want speed over 24x/8x

    you have no patient to wait few extra min's?

    Yeah I found the same thing on newegg too. I use good quality CD-R and they burn fine at higher speeds, never had a complaint about not being able to play one of these discs.. I wonder why there's such a limit...

    The speed is probably limited for laptops to limit power requirements for the battery.

    Probably also to limit vibration - they are not as sturdy as desktop units.
