    Lap tops are an important part of my jobs and life, unfortunately, lol and most of the new ones lack the DVD/CD drive that I need. This one fits my needs.

    As fewer and fewer laptops are coming equipped wit a physical media drive, the need for a reliable external device grows. The LG-8X is a great value oriented option.

    I bought this to use with my new chromebook but it is not compatible. My son has a windows laptop without a dvd drive and it works great with that. Easy to setup and use.
