is this compatible to a portable chromebook? null

You can use the LG 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Black, Model # SP80NB80 with a Chromebook, but there are some major limitations to using a Chromebook with an external DVD or CD drive. A Chromebook might be able to read CD, CD-RW, DVD, and DVD-RW discs. Chrome OS can read files on these disks if they are a supported file formats. This means you can easily open image or audio files in ChromeOS from files on a CD or DVD. However, there are some limitations. You cannot play an audio CD or a movie on a DVD and you cannot write anything to a CD, or DVD disc. Chrome OS does not support optical disks to let you play music or movies. The primary reason for this is that Chrome OS doesn’t come with codecs. Codecs are necessary to compress and decompress large files like DVD videos. If you want to play DVDs on your Chromebook, you’ll need to install Linux. External DVD drives aren’t officially supported on Chrome OS. The LG Electronics 8X USB 2.0 Super Multi Ultra Slim Portable DVD Writer Drive +/-RW External Drive with M-DISC Support (Black), Model # GP65NB60 is a DVD drive that works on Chromebooks...^IFV
