    Bought this for my wife to access an old training CD. Integration was seamless and worked great. Haven't used it a whole lot, but very happy for now.

    Works okay so far but feels rather flimsy and I have to wonder about its durability. "Time will tell".

    My girlfriend had a large CD collection that she needed converted to a digital format. It did it, will probably never throw it away or look at it again.

    It works as expected. Most of them are a lot more expensive and do the same thing.

    I bought this for half price on Black Friday to go with a new Dell laptop that did not have a cd/dvd drive. I have burned 5 CDs so far and the sound quality is great!

    The Dell DVD player works well but there isn't any real documentation. I was frustrated enough to think about returning it until I spent about an hour on the phone with Dell. The guy I spoke to was incredibly helpful and now I can easily watch DVDs.

    It does what jis supposed to do and that’s what matters. It feels cheap and very plastic but got it on sale so it doesn’t matter to me.
