I used this with a new laptop to install some software. Two different cable types are included in the kit, but you only need one to use them. Turns on when connected to a laptop. It was easy enough to figure out and start installing. There were a lot of clicks and they were a bit slow and eventually stopped. I touched the USB port where it was connected to the laptop and it again asked me what I wanted to do, but the installation continued without me having to start over. It's very compact and light, but doesn't look like I can rely on it for constant use, and it feels like it'll be too loud to use for something like watching DVDs. However, on the rare occasions when it was needed, it worked.
