    Functionally it works fine. I like the slim profile. However, it seems to be always running and is noisier than others I have used.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I love that this exists! I love that I can preserve the music on my CDs and use them digitally. I am a music teacher with a laptop that does not have a CD player, so this has proved handy for me.

    Very light weight which I like but it seems flimsy, I imagine if you aren't careful you could break it easily with normal operation.
