    Since I bought a new Dell Laptop and it did not have a DVD player, I did a research in what is in the Market. I was gladly surprised that DELL makes a DVD External prayer. It is my experience that if you need anything - computer - laptop or any external drive, consider DELL...the top in quality and price

    Bought this for my Mom's laptop. Very cheaply made and flimsy, but most are now. It was easy to hook up and install. Works fine, but I don't think it will last a life time. Price pretty good, but I wish for the sake of the environment they would make things to last longer.
