Even if you like watching DVDs on your laptop you'd likely still be better off with a removable optical drive. Rip the discs to the hard drive and run them from there.

Highly recommended. I use this method exclusively, even though I have working DVD drive: scratched discs don't cause nasty surprises during the movie, and the drive doesn't make noise during playback.

With RipIt.app set to auto-rip every inserted DVD and eject it it's no hassle.
