    Perfect add on to laptop, slim design, quiet operation. Arrived in factory sealed box undamaged even with all of the Christmas season shipping / deliveries this year. Glad it was available for ship to home along with the text updates. So far no issues or concerns with performance of the unit. Got it on sale and was a good value for the money.

    I bought this to use with my Dell XPS laptop, for the primary purpose of nostalgically replaying old computer games. Compatible with even those early 2000 CD-ROMs, and plays them with no problem. Would absolutely recommend!
