Easy to use and lightweight

It was so easy to use that I just plugged it into my son's computer and he was able to install the game and start playing right away. Also great for playing DVDs on your computer or laptop. It didn't have a floppy disk drive, so this machine is very handy. Especially since he got a computer game for Christmas and couldn't play it until we got one. I like that it's portable, light weight and easy to carry around in a backpack.

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great buy and convenient

What can I say other than the fact that it works great and is around $20. It works like any other pre-installed laptop drive and can be stored separately when not in use. Any laptop I buy in the future will not have to pay for a preloaded laptop. And I already had an old label program that I would otherwise have had to buy back with an expensive download. That alone would be double the cost of the disc.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Zero

Doesn't work at all. Another piece of cheap Chinese junk!

The drive is recognized by Windows and Linux, but will NOT read any type of media inserted. Rotates up and down while the disc is in the drive. Do yourself a favor and spend another $5 on something that might work. UPDATE: After a second search, almost every $14-$30 drive turned out to be the exact same cheap device with a rename and minor top case changes. Check out the underside of any of them and they are identical. About 7 out of 100 are defective. Check the reviews - YMMV

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Does not play discs. May not work at all (didn't try DVD)

I don't know about DVD but this site says it plays CD. It is not. The only reason I bought it was to burn music from CDs onto my computer. Now I have to worry about sending that back, getting a refund, finding a new product that actually does what it's supposed to do, and then waiting for the new product to arrive. I don't appreciate any of that. I guess I'll just buy something at a regular store I have to go to so I don't have to worry about getting another Frankenstein ghetto monster in the…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Small but powerful in computers and accessories

The DVD player isn't very big (picture under my hand for reference) but I've been using it almost continuously since I've had it and it hasn't given me a hiccup so far . When I first used it I was a little confused/concerned because when I plugged it into my computer's USB port a message appeared saying the country code needed to be changed and that I could only change it 4 times (not once). Problem as I'm not used to watching movies encoded for other countries lol). I have a terrible internet…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Flimsy
