    I bought it for classes I am taking. "Used" it for the first time yesterday. It doesn't work. I haven't had time to take it back. Very frustrating.

    I'm not sure if it is Windows 10 or the player but sometimes it isn't recognized by my laptop. I more believe it is Windows. It is nice and slim and works.

    For a basic DVD writer, it's ok. Description says it's a writer and reader but need to purchase additional software to play DVDs which is disappointing.

    Good little portable storage. However, the read speeds for large video files are not good. I have a lot of movies stored that are simply unwatchable.

    I am going to have to take the drive to Geek Squad to install. I tried and it says that it is installed but it won't play. Hopefully, it works great.

    Allowed me to read a DVD into my HP Envy laptop. The drawback is that I needed to make this purchase. My laptop should have had an internal DVD drive

    Was looking for a cheap cd player to copy some cd''s. Worked well but there was some skipping, like a broken record. Other than that it was good.

    It is not enough to use a little ink and put on the logo that it works apple mac products. It needs to have software so it will actually work.
