    Compact, light-weight and does everything I want of it. While it lacks the ability to do Blue-Ray, my needs were primarily to load software and burn CDs. No complaints!

    Honestly, I haven't used it much, other than to confirm that everything worked out of the box. So far as I can tell, this is a great device for the price.
