    I needed a portable DVD player because my new laptop is lightweight and thin but did not have a DVD and I have some professional and personal programs that are on DVD and I needed to have one. It is so easy to install and so easy to use,

    Some of the new computers don't have built in drive (still need it from time to time) had to go and buy one and honestly like the sleek color it has plus the price was very reasonable. Love it ! Highly Recommend

    I was looking for a portable, external drive and this one was on sale, had a great overall rating plus I applied a points reward to it so got a great price. Working fine so far. We have two now and would recommend this to a friend.

    This is an adequate player/ reader. It's a little lightweight and flimsy but maybe that's a good thing. I've never had need for an external reader before because it's always been in my computer. My new computer is super slim so this is very helpful.
