    As always technology changes and with that so does the size of laptops. Some programs still require a CD/DVD player. I had been looking at a desktop model that plugs into power just to make sure that everything would work correctly. The Best Buy guy suggested this model and while it didn't look like much I thought I would give it a try. What a great little drive. Not only does it do a fantastic job of running software I managed to make a back up copy of a DVD program that I use. I guess good things do come in small packages.

    My new computer did not come with a built-in DVD/CD drive so I wanted something just in case I needed to load things from a CD. This was cheap enough and has worked well for 3 months so far with no issues.

    This drive can feel a bit flimsy at times, but it works just fine for me. I am using it as a replacement for an internal optical drive, as my preferred case did not have room for one. I have had no problems with its functionality so far.

    Plugged into my Mac mini and just worked! Same as my windows 8.1 laptop. Used it to burn a slide show to a dvd in under 10 minutes.

    The software down loaded as soon as I plugged it into my PC. The operation is seamless and quiet. The player also came with a USB cable.

    Great Smart TV

    This TV is a superb value. 4K is still a questionable buy at this time, but a large screen Samsung 1080 with Smart TV functionality paired up with a 7.1 HDMI connected Sony receiver is a NO BRAINER. Viewing and sound is phenomenal.

    many laptops nowadays don't have dvd built in. The LG ultra slim solves that problem. Take it anywhere. Pop in your favorite movie and you are in business

    sometimes they want to force you to go on and on about a product. I really don't see the point of a minimum amount of characters. it's a dvd drive. you get what you pay for, and it seems to work good.

    Bought to load oldish software onto my new tiny dell xps13 2in1 which I love. DVD drive seems so loud compared to brand new completely silent computer, but probably no louder than any other DVD rom drive.

    This is great if you have a laptop and want to watch DVDs. I recommend going to videolan.org and downloading the VLC software. It is free and does not have viruses.

    A little noisy but good little drive. If you live in a very dusty area you might be best served with another device. Mine has to be continually cleaned.
