    This is a great external DVD player for laptops that does't have an internal DVD player. This does everything an internal DVD player would do. This unit comes with a USB cable, a DVD disc for Media Suite 12 and a quick guide to get you set up. You do not have to purchase anything else to use. The unit is made of plastic.
