    I needed a simple and inexpensive DVD player for my computer, and I have used this model before. As in the past, it has worked very well for my needs, and is a good player.

    Works as intended. The included disk isn't necessary and has issues with Windows 11, so just ignore it.

    Wow. Got this on sale for less than $20! While DVDs are facing competition from streaming services, some of us still have large collections. This very affordable accessory enables me to continue to watch movies and tv shows on DVDs on my laptop.

    We bought this to use with a new laptop that doesn't have a DVD drive. We have too many CDs and DV's that we want to be able to use in the future. This will allow us to take our time transferring them to USB flash drives.
