I just picked up my 17" last night. Overall, I like the machine a lot. However, it has the (now infamous) MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846. Did those who bought the 20" and 24" also get this drive? If so, system profiler says +-RW and +-R write but does not include DL? I don't want to start another thread on the issues surrounding this drive, just want to know if Apple only uses it in the "bottom end."

dilbottehrobort--
Thanks. It is very weird that my System Profiler did not say +R DL under DVD write the first few times I checked but now it is identical to yours!! The only change was that I inserted a DL DVD and then shut down with it inserted. Rebooted without it in. Does that make sense to anyone?
