    Since the majority of laptops seem to not have CDrom and everything has gone to digital downloads, I didn't think I would need it but I have used it several times and it works great and is super lightweight.

    I've had my trial-and-error selecting a portable CD drive via Amazon. So I decided to try Best Buy. This product worked perfectly. It was easy to use and reasonable priced.

    I needed a way to play DVDs with my MacBook Air. This was recommended by the employee in the electronics section, and she hit the nail on the head. It does all I wanted it to do, and it was a good, inexpensive investment.

    The performance is fine. I did have some difficulty in getting to the point where it would work at all but I think hat that was due to my own ineptitude at downloading the appropriate apps from the CD Disc!

    Sometimes the AI gets in the way. Does not always respond to the key plate. Price was good. Not as easy to use as the same model purchased by my spouse,

    I would really like to say Thank You to Best Buy Associate Gulshan for all of his help in picking out the right computer and other items as a replacement for my old computer set up. We got disconnected due to our poor service area, through no fault of his own, but he was able to give me enough information that I feel confident I can get what I need at the store. Thanks Gulshan!
