    This DVD player works great with my laptop PC! I can watch movies, play games, and even make a system restore disk! DVD rives are very essential and everyone should have one!

    It's a great convenience to have an external drive to play music and movies. I purchased as a gift and it was well-received. It works with both a laptop and a desktop. Easy to use. Shipped quickly!

    Was able to play old mini dvd discs. They snap perfectly in the center and stay in place. Charges directly through usb that connects to laptop. Light weight, best investment.

    Works well on the dvds that I still have. I use this to watch movies on my laptop which didn't come with the optical drive. Setup was a breeze on a dell laptop.

    My daughter's laptop has no dvd drive and she needed to install software on discs, so this fit the bill perfectly. I can't comment on the durability since we have only had it a few weeks. It installed easily on her Win 10 HP laptop.

    Works great, plug and play and the free program is very easy to use. In my opinion the free program that comes with the drive is worth the cost of the drive.
