    Since laptops don't have a cd port anymore, this is very convenient to listen to special cd's or movies.

    Bought this to provide DVD capability for my wife's new Surface 4. Works as expected with no problems to date - several weeks. We've only used it to load programs from CD's / DVDs so far.

    my new computer didn't have a dvd/cd drive. This was good alternative at a reasonable price that allowed me to load older software I have on CDs.

    I couldn't find the way to make it work in any of my lap tops. I think that it requires of more explicit directions. I tried several times, but gave up because I'm too busy to keep on trying. I work a lot with technology and I know how to use both Mackintosh and Windows, but the directions were not accessible enough.

    I bought a new Dell laptop that didn't have a DVD/CD optical drive. I chose this one primarily because it was on sale and it looked cooler than the standard LG CD/DVD drive that Bestbuy sales.
