    Most modern laptops do not have DVD drives, but some software is still only available on disks. This is a great low cost way to add DVD to any system via the USB port. Plug in play on Windows 10 / 11.

    This is my second smart phone to replace my 6 years old moto x4. With 200+ G storage and 5G access, I'm very satisfied except for a lot of un-wanted apps for a senior.
