Again, they are probably just expecting that it is more likely you carry 
around or have available a laptop rather than a stand-alone DVD player. 
Stand alone DVD players tend to be wired in to systems and not easily 
portable, whereas laptops are designed to be portable.

Oh I didn't realise that, most of ours that are remaining (they are 
replacing them all with big TVs now) are fixed to the ceiling and have the 
SVGA cable routed somewhere that pops up on the table.  Connecting up 3.5mm 
stereo audio or some cable from a DVD player is going to be tricky.
