    Just what I needed since laptops no longer include CD/DVD drives which are an imperative for me when editing sound.

    This External DVD player is lightweight and easy to use. I just plugged it into my laptop and waited for it to load my dvd and then I hit play. One time there seemed to be a lag time like it was not reading the DVD yet smooth sailing since. I am glad I discovered this portable device.

    A salesman at Best Buy recommended this drive and I am very happy with the performance. I also like how thin it is resulting in needing little space.

    The DVD drive is very slim and fits just about anywhere. Very fast and easy to set up. The included software is OK, but other third party video software works better.

    This reader/writer is a great addition for your modern laptop that does not come with one native. It ultra thin and lightweight to store with you. Do a comparison on the specs, its the best one on the market.

    It was a lot smaller than the picture in the ad showed so it must have been an old pic of an older version of the product that looked similar. The size makes it easy to store though and doesn't affect performance
