It is nice to be able to use CD DVD drive but 'sad' that they aren't included in 'new' machines...

Not being a Techie. This unit is not user friendly. Can't get to work with my Win 11 HP Desktop or figure out where to go for help. I give up! No Quick Start Instruction sheet with this product.

I purchased a new HP laptop Envy model and surprise, surprise it no longer comes with a dedicated DVD/CD player. I purchased the external player since I still have DVDs that I like to watch. I just plugged it in and went to work after downloading a free player through the Microsoft store. I've always been a little leery of playing with peripherals, but this one was easy to install and work with. I recommend it. I'm all for streaming, but I still own DVDs and CDs and watch them. The quality is dependent on the manufacturer of the disc, but the player is top notch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love my new HP DVD player. I purchased it with an all-in-one HP computer so I could watch movies and create DVD'S. It does both with ease. I would recommend it to anyone. Small and lightweight and easy to plug in .

Most laptops don't come with a DVD drive. Its reasonably priced and allows me to review old DVDs. Works great.
I would recommend this to a friend!
