Slim, economical good value.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Dell USB DVDRW Drive seems to be a good value for the money. At first glance it seems to feel a little flimsy but it stands up to everyday use pretty well. Fast response time and comes with “POWER DVD” app which is a pleasure to use.
