I would recommend this to a friend Not a good choice with MacBookPro
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Connected to my husband's PC and worked beautifully. Connected to my Mac Book Pro and it only opened one CD of photos. It froze on the 2nd CD. The computer is protected with Malware Bytes, but I could not run it, I could not navigate with the track pad, and I had the dreaded pinwheel. A call to Apple Support got the computer up and running after about 50 min with the support tech. I returned this Dell DVD Drive the next day and purchased an Apple product which is working great with both laptops.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't run into skipping, sudden stopping, or audio problems with playing DVD's as with a cheaper product I once used. However, there are times it makes a slightly high-pitched noise when playing DVD's you can hear in a quiet room.
