Blue Ray Player not for a beginner
Bought for my son's laptop and followed steps to install but it will not play blue ray discs. Called Best Buy. They said call Asus. Asus could not get it to work. Said to call Best Buy and have Geek Squad install it. I called Best Buy back. They said I did not buy support on new product and doubted as to whether Geek Squad would help me. Planning on malking the 35 mile trip to Best Buy to see if I can get help. Also, could not get player into simple plastic stand with out a lot of force. Did not want to supply that force so stand is useless.

It Works
I have an old net book (ASUS Eee PC 1000HA) that I needed to re-install windows on because it got all infected. I was able to boot the windows install disk connected to my EEE PC with this. Got the Blu-Ray reader for future proofing. Nice style and design. It does need two USB ports for power but I like that more than needed a separate plug for the wall. It came with some backup software but I didn't try it.
