    LG normally makes outstanding products, but for some strange reason this particular item just didn't wow me. Better luck next time!

    The product works fine, as long as you don't touch it or move your computer. The cord could be longer, it limits where I can use it.

    I only had to use it once but worked well. Nice to have and like the feature of not having to include on the Surface Pro 3 as I obviously use it sparingly.

    Works great with my son's Netbook. The only issue I have is it doesn't feel strong enough to carry in a laptop bag without a rigid case.

    Trouble playing brand new CDs

    I bought this as I'm getting back into collecting CDs. The first brand new CD would not even play. The next one played most of the way with a couple skips. The next two played, but with major skipping. These were all new out of their wrapping. I quit there and returned it. I replaced it for the more expensive Apple version. I guess you get what you pay for. That one ripped, played & burned those same CDs flawlessly.

    The drive is great, but the bloatware that comes with it I could do without. Now I've got to uninstall a bunch of stuff I didn't want in the first place.
