Review of LG GCE 8523B by sethsurvey

Advantages: Cheap and works like a dream.
Disadvantages: None.

LG GCE 8523B Continuing my quest to get back into the world of tech, I needed a reliable CD burner. I pondered getting a CD/DVD burner, but as I have never dabbled in the DVD ROM world in the past, and as I was building my system from scratch, I decided to go with what I knew best. My last CD burner was an LG, and I was more than happy with what it produced. That one cost me £49.99 a couple of years ago, so I was expecting to pay around £30 this ...
...the bargain bin. The LG GCE 8523B was in there and caught my eye immediately. The price also shocked me-£14.99!!! I grabbed it, and ran home. The box contained the drive, am installation cd, cables, and a copy of Nero Smartsuite, that was not advertised on the box. Result!!! This is one of the best bits of software for CD Burners ever made!!! It is a standard size for this kind of drive, measuring in at 14.6 cm wide, 18.5 cm deep and 4.1 cm tall. ... Read review
