Full review
we bought this portable CD rewriter couple of years ago in Currys. Paid something around £50. We were desperate to get something to sort out our increasing photo library. Both computers were boosting of files (especially photos - thanks to our new digital camera and broadband). Also both had no re-writing facilities.
So we decided to spend £50 on portable CD-RW than to buy a new computer.

Honestly I was concern about our purchase. Never heard about this make. £50 was not a fiver. You know sometimes it's better to spend more on better make them buy unknown cheaply.

In fact, my worries were not necessary.
POSITIVE VIEW:
1) RELIABILITY: This rewriter is very solid, very reliable. Worked for 2 year with no fault. By the way it is made in Germany.
2) INSTALLATION: Good CD manual with a step-by-step installation guide In 12 languages. Very easy to install. We did it twice on both computers (laptop and desk comp - no probs)
3) PORTABILITY: as a fan of traveling and digital photo shooting I carry this device wherever i go. Its size of 11" x 6" x 2" + the cable with adapter is laptop bag friendly. I have a soft Asus Spirit laptop case and have no problem to accommodate the lot.
4) SPEED: variable from very slow (4) to hight speed (12) I used different speed level - all my records had no mistake.

NEGATIVE VIEW:
not a lot!
1) NOISE LEVEL: mine is quite noisy while it's reading a disk.
2) MANUAL: no manual on paper. it comes just with one disc.

OVERVIEW: highly recommend to have one if you need an external CD rewriter. Also very handy if your existing computer can't reed CD RW (reed just CD-R)
PS my baby just dropped in on the floor - not a big distance (10") but I have to check it later. Will inform you ASAP. Thank for reading.
PS2 still works fine - very solid as i thought.
