    I am not happy with this purchase but did not want to drive total of two hours to return it. First of all when I took it out of the box, the covering on the top of unit was all bubbled and will rip soon. It is also a very slow working unit. It takes forever to get something loaded

    Worked as advertised...almost. The DVD software was VERY difficult to use and was full of upgrade purchases to do more than we needed. We only wanted to have the ability to play DVDs on a laptop that did not have a DVD player built in.

    Could not use it. Once I got everything working, LG wanted me to buy extra protection before I could use it. I therefore disconnected it and returned. Found another that was compatible to my HP Laptop.
