Good price and works great

Not worth the trouble!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device unfortunately took too many other cable connections/adaptors to just run off of my laptop, even with a powered USB hub it was inconsistent in its function. Movies would intermittently stop and start.

Perfect fit and ditch the enclosed DVD.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect to use and like the slimness. I gave it a 9 as the included software disc was useless as some other administrator to bless other than me and I bought both the laptop and dvd player.

Good external disc drive
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old laptop had an internal disc drive so I had to buy this when I bought a new laptop.
