Highlights
Quality
Product is so easy to use and very efficient.
Double click on that, and it will install.
Had an lg external dvd/rw drive for years and it almost never worked right.
Threw in cd-rw and burned files in seconds.
Price
The unit does feel a little "flimsy", but it only cost $28, so one shouldn't expect it to be built like a tank.
Packaging/appearance
Opened package, connected cable from drive to my macbook air, and perfection.
Click the "eject" icon in the upper right corner of the center box, and the dvd will eject.
10) an orange/brown box will appear in the center of a blue laewo home screen and an abbreviated name for the dvd will be in the box.
Competitiveness
I gladly paid a bit more to buy another of these rock-solid, dependable cd/dvd drives from asus.

If one checks all the 341 star34 reviews they are all from 2015 so perhaps the drives have been improved since then
