    This comes in handy when you want to upload a program to your net book or laptop, that isn't available as an app.

    This is a good device overall. The only problem is that is makes a lot of noise.

    This player could do the job but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. No issues, just wasn't what I wanted.

    Having the added functionality to run discs when needed is a big benefit. This machine works well toward that end.

    Since Apple no longer comes with CD drive, had to get one. This one has done exactly what we need and held up quality wise.

    I couldn't use it at all! Every time I tried to play anything it will forward me to a website to pay to upgrade. I figured it was a defective device so I returned it and spoke to someone in the computer department. They tried it on their laptop and it did the same thing. They even opened a new one and they couldn't figure out how to use it. Don't waste your money!

    It is a DVD/CD reader and it works fine. It was required because many new laptops do not have CD/DVD capability.
