Nope.. 1670 is not based on the phillips chipset. The 1650 is a much better drive.

I heard 1670 is based on panasonic chipset.. Also he said that benq has sopped production of 1650.

But anyways I took that 1670 coz I couldn't wait longer. 6 months later without dvd writer.

If you can't get the benq get an LG H10A/H10N. Again don't buy the H20N which isn't that special. Benq 1670 not recommended.
