Most laptops have the kind that pop open an inch or so and you have to 
actually manually pull the drawer open the rest of the way by hand.  Most 
desktops on the other hand usually have the type of CD tray that is extended 
all the way our by a motor.  This type can also usually use the motor to close 
the tray.  Both can use the eject command to open but only the only the full 
motorized one can close via command.
