++++ Positive
Super I find the hinged lid
No CD or DVD that needs to be herausgefummelt again because the drive does not eject it.
Practically, the USB port that forwards both the data and the power supply takes over.
Whether on a notebook also works so well I can not judge.
------ Negative
The running noise is louder than with my built-in burner Mac Mini.
The base has four small rubber "feet" that are not safe on smooth surfaces prevent migration of the small device. Especially at start-up, he wandered like to smooth over the table.
This can, however, prevent any problems when choosing a less smooth lower surface (eg back of a mousepad).
Conclusion:
For the price a great device. Extremely easy and comfortable to use. Super connected quickly.
Slightly louder than a built version.
And quite compatible with the Mac mini, and probably several other Macs too !!!
