The drive is to be expected as in the price range is made of plastic, but looks solid and is processed by brushing look a little looker. CDs and DVDs are read with speedy 24x or 8x. At full reading speed the drive is a little louder, when playing movies and music, however, the drive is a far cry from its performance limit and runs quietly without disturbing.
Interesting highlight: The drive can also be on tablets and some TVs connect But watch out! The player needs to be added for the AV mode (Eject button press for 3 seconds), now it behaves like a hard drive, from which can only be read. This means that the support formats of the respective connected device (TV, tablet, etc.) depend. The player is not to give in a position normal DVD titles in the AV mode again (like a DVD player) !!! This works only in normal mode on a laptop.
Conclusion: From my side, a strong buy recommendation, especially as a complement to a Mac Book. In the price category, it will be almost impossible to get similar benefits.
