Laptops are typically slower due to lower power consumption devices inside. Laptop drives are typically slower too because they are limited to how fast they can go. DVDs are limited to 8x(at least all I've seen), CDs around 24x, and harddrives by around 7200RPMs.

Storage is less, harddrives are usally 100G max. I don't really look for these drives so there might be larger ones around now...
