Works Fine!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only reason I never got a laptop was the new ones had no disc drives and I have an extensive collection of DVDs and CDs. For just a small price, I got this and now I can ditch that big old tower.
