    The sales associate knew exactly where it was for me to find. It's exactly what I need to used for classroom instruction.

    I love this external disk drive because it was compatible with my machines. Automatically found all the drivers it needed when I plugged it in, out of the box! It does vibrate a little bit, but you can minimize that by reducing the RW speed or by setting it on a pad of paper. Well worth the cost.

    If you have a newer laptop with no CD/DVD drive, this is a no-brainer! It's inexpensive and works great! Just plug it into the USB port and install the included software. You're good to go for installing CD/DVD based software or burning your own.

    When I purchase this, the Geek Squad programmed it for use on either an Apple or a PC. This is a wonderful advantage and it works great on both.

    Simple device and does not require a separate power cord. Funny fact: BestBuy does not sell blank CDs -- had to go to Staples for those.

    I have a laptop without a CD drive and this was the perfect add on for me. It's also USB, so it doesn't have to constantly be attached to the laptop, and I only need to take it off the shelf as I use it!

    Wanted to play DVD's on my new laptop that doesn't have a built in dvd/cd drive. This fits the bill. Small size, quiet operation. Install disc did not work with my Dell laptop, but LG customer was great and sent a download link that worked perfectly. Giving 4.5 stars because once in a great while the picture will get pixelated for just a nanosecond.

    the dvd player is fine, no complaints with the product. It is a little annoying though when the company keeps pushing their updated version every time Im finished with a dvd.

    I was in the market for a new laptop nowadays they do not give you a way to install your programs, that you have this was a bargain at the time and I jumped on it. So far so good.
