    It works!! I’ve upgraded my laptop and have discs that I still like to view sometimes. I was glad to see that I could buy the Dell reader! It works best; for me when placed on a flat surface.

    Simple, standard cd accessory. Attachment cord is short so the unit must be immediately adjacent to the tower or plugged to a hub. Loading CD'S was a little awkward due to the design.
