Pros:?Travel, Music & Movies, Presentation ReviewI ordered this external drive after doing some research on the internet on external drivers, the product just arrived the other day and it has been working flawlessly. An excellent companion for my Inspiron mini 10v, it writes and reads all formats of CD's and DVD's and does it a decent speed. The 8X write speed is more than sufficent for most applications, as an extra added bonus, the LG drive will burn Lightscribe labels( I haven't tried this yet but I suspect you must first download special software from the Lighscribe web site). from Dell.com To make double sure everything was working, I unplugged the AC adapter to see if the netbook's battery was strong enough to power it and it certainly did! I don't know what battery life will be like watching movies or listening to CD's, but I'm expecting about 5-6 hours. I'm sure there's other, better software to use besides what LG provided, but for my purposes, it's just fine. When it comes time to burn CD's or DVD's I'll simply use a larger LG CD/DVD that I have for my desktop with all the software I have on it for just that purpose. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Everything about it. What's not so great:?Alittle slow "I read the reviews and was a bit surprised that people with the same netbooks had such a diiferent experience when installing this DVD. But I like LG products so I gave it a try and am I glad I did. Just plugged it in and it worked, didn't even have to install the software. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?size What's not so great:?won't work at all "Not happy when you purchace a new product and it doesn't work at all the first time you try to use it. Just purchased the LG GP08 dvd rewriter, got home and plugged it into my computer, tried to run the software and nothing happened so I called the LP help line and after they ran me through some checks said that the drive is not working and I need to send the product into them for an exchange. Now the problem is I bought the dvd rewriter while in the US on vacation. from Bestbuy.com Wasted several DVD's and lots of time. I have had no problems recording videos playable on the computer but that's not what I needed. I have always been a fan of LG products, but this one is lacking. It hasn't been worth the money. from Bestbuy.com good value good features What's not so great:?why it cost so much.. "i bought this only for the reason of making back-ups of xbox 360 games... i know nothing about burners but out of the box iw as makin my first back up in less than 10 mins. works perfect for what it does.. from Bestbuy.com In the body of the ad and product literature, it states that this product is Mac compatible - well it isn't. I called LG support they advised me that this product is only for windows users and mac's. I had to return it. from Amazon.com The LG Electronics GP08LU10 8x is a slim, lightweight DVD+/-RW external drive that does it all without putting a strain on the budget. This device can be USB powered or powered by wall plug in; both connection types come with the unit. from Amazon.com I purchased the LG Electronics GP08LU10 8X Slim LightScribe DVD+/-RW External Drive to provide my MSI Wind U123 network with access to installation and recovery DVDs and CDs. (The Wind does not have an internal optical drive.) from Amazon.com Pros: Works on Lenovo S10 and Samsung NC10 netbooks with just a USB data cable. I.e., no additional power cable, dual-headed USB, or AC/DC converter needed. from Newegg.com
