    Only problem is that every time I turn on my Surface Pro, even if the device is not plugged in, LG asks me if it can access my computer. I don't like this. It's a nuisance.

    This item works as it should. I use it with a Mac and it is less than half the price of a Mac one and does the same thing.

    I have only used this a few times so far and it does what it is supposed to do. Plug in the USB and it loads easily. Thin and quiet--no need to plug it in to a power cord. So far so good.

    I bought this primarily for backing up and for playing dvds on my laptop when I travel, so I wanted something light. It is everything I expected and for a great price.

    The DVD writer does not always recognize that a disk is in the drive. Also, it does not recognize the disk until I shut down the computer and turn it back on. When it does write the DVD it is a good quality.

    Purchased this to be used alongside a new iMac. Works great and reads very quickly for a good price. Only complaint would be that it is a bit loud while running.

    Forced to purchase two Lenova's supposedly the same. Had software startup problems on both and my wife's has a tape like image on the screen. Without Best Buy service....would have been very frustrated.

    Had this DVD drive for about a month and have been running it 24/7 and it has not failed yet. I have already recouped my cost. I would buy this drive again in the future if available.

    I wasn't sure if I would like having to use an external cd drive but after doing so I have no complaints. Just plug it into a usb port and you're ready to go!

    I bought this to go with my HP laptop, I was disappointed my computer didn't come with one built in in the first place. But now I have a portable one... So its kind of cool either way.

    Since nowadays most laptops and ultrabooks don't come with a DVD slot, this is great for when you eventually need one. Slim and light to go in your backpack.
