    While this product is relatively inexpensive, it works quite well with either Mac or PC. I purchased multiple units as our school computers do not have DVD players. I wanted students to work in teams on a class project which included burning information onto a disc. The unit worked perfectly.

    for burning some CDs! It worked pretty easily with my MacBook Air (using adapters of course) and the “burn” process was super quick too!

    Great external CD/DVD player/buner. The built-in DVD burner died on my laptop. This was way less expensive than having my computer geek install a new drive, plus with the plug-n-play feature, I can use on any Windows or iMac computer. I have LG TVs & always feel they make good products. Comes with an installation disc & cable. Very pleased.

    Was very easy to set up. I was able to load all my old games on CD's with no problems. Haven't tried using it as a disk burner yet so can't say anything about that. Very small, so takes up hardly any desktop space. It's a little noisy but other than that it's perfect.

    This purchase is a replacement for the same item I purchased about 5 years ago. For my job, I have to burn cd's on the go and this player is lightweight, slim and easy to transport. It is very easy to use; just plug in the USB and start using it. My only complaint is that my previous burner only lasted for 5 years and I expected longer use out of it.

    My new laptop did not have an optical drive, which is becoming common. This little USB DVD writer, for the price (cheap!) works great and I highly recommend it for those who need either an extra one, or something to fit on their laptop that doesn't provide an optical drive. Works perfectly.
