What can I say, the supplied burner served its stated purpose reliable. Visually, it makes next to a Ultrabook a good figure. He needs only a USB port to connect is just for mobile use very advantageous because in many devices USB slots are scarce. The cable is anchored to the unit, is not necessarily a disadvantage. With my old burner there have been incidents times that while I had the torch, but had to look for the matching USB cable first. Only criticism: The cable would have to be a bit longer, but something has fallen badly short. Otherwise, for the price absolutely top notch equipment. Therefore, from my 5 stars.
