A:AnswerI would not recommend using this device in your car. The device is a table-top appliance. It does not have any shock or vibration absorbing materials to protect the drive while you're driving. It is a delicate device. If you have a USB in your car, you should use a flash drive. Suggest you use this device to rip the music off your CD and place it onto a flash drive. Use the flash drive in the car. That's what I do.
A:AnswerIt works well with my Dell, HP, and Asus laptops. All of them are i5 and i7 with 8 gb memory. I imagine your gaming laptop is even better. I also noticed it read faster than the onboard DVD rom in my desktop when I attached it to that. If that helps.

Then tried to watch a dvd and the program prompted me to cyberlink to purchase an upgraded program because the software that came with the drive doesn't support running dvds. downloaded the software ,which cost 1.5 times the cost of the drive only to watch 1 movie before the unit failed to operate properly kept seizing up and began to not ejecting the discs. this product is not worth buying .
