Many appreciate its compatibility with various systems and its performance in burning and reading discs. However, some customers find the price to be a bit high.

    So far, no problems and works without any setup with my MacBook Pro 2017 15” w touch bar. Had some setup problems with an LG so stuck with the Apple family.

    This is my first Mac and am starting to like it more each day. Yes, some things are a bit different but once I learn it, I like it! The Apple support team has been a true blessing for helping me navigate this new and different system. Thanks for all your support!

    My only complaint is I had to purchase separately from my iMac. But then again, all I have owned was laptops over the years so I was under the impression that this would be standard.
