External DVD Burners: What to Look For

When choosing a DVD burner, ports are important aspects to consider. Look to see whether your computer has a USB 2.0 or 1.1 or FireWire port then choose a DVD player that will work with that port. Keep in mind that a USB 1.1 is extremely slow and that ports can be added at a reasonable price. If you use a unique disc type, such as DVD-RAM, CD-Text or CD+G look to see that these formats are supported.
Below are the criteria TopTenREVIEWS used to evaluate external DVD Drives:
Feature SetWe evaluated all of the features available with the DVD burner such as whether they have the ability to copy to dual layer discs and if they are compatible with popular DVD copying software. We also looked at what kind of software package comes with the hardware and noted the types of ports they require.
Burner SpeedBurning speed is especially significant when choosing a DVD burner. However, the type of blank media used to read/write/rewrite also impact speed.
Help & SupportThis ranking depends on how quick the product manufacturer responded to our emailINQUIRIES about their product. We sent an email to the technical support team of every product we reviewed. This criterion also considers some of the other help/support contact methods available such as live chat, telephone, FAQs, a searchable knowledge base, troubleshooting guides, easy driver downloads, etc.

DELL LATITUDE 5280

Dell Latitude 5280 (7200U, HD) Laptop Review Notebook   Business   Windows   Kaby Lake Small and strong.  Dell has created a significantly lighter chassis now that the aging E-Port is becoming a thing of the past. The lack of Thunderbolt 3, however, severely limits the docking capabilities of this latest Latitude redesign. Like Lenovo, Dell has been slowly moving away from proprietary docking ports to universal USB Type-C and Thunderbolt 3 solutions on the latest Latitude series of business notebooks. This will inevitably alienate some existing users who have grown accustomed to specialized docks that connect to the bottom of the notebook, but the gains in portability and design from the move are hard to overlook. The latest 12.5-inch Latitude 5280 notebook is an overhaul of the existing E5270 with notable improvements in both size and weight while sacrificing as few features as possible. The lowest-end SKU currently retails for $850 an...

GREATEST LAPTOP EVER ?? MSI GT75VR 7RF Titan Pro (i7-7820HK, GTX 1080)

RGB trip.  Although ultra-slim casings are the current trend, MSI presents the GT75VR, a bulky gaming laptop that combines all the advantages and disadvantages of a desktop replacement and relies on a mechanical keyboard with colorful lighting. Our test clarifies whether the total concept is still up-to-date. For the original German review, see  here . Buyers looking for a high-performance premium laptop will end up with MSI products sooner or later. While the GS line-up’s slim chassis is designed for mobile users and the GE lineup is aimed at price-conscious players, the GT laptops are made for the Core gaming community with a stationary playground that is out for pure performance. MSI's  GT73VR  that has been the 17-inch leader so far (Notebookcheck rating: 87%), is now replaced by the GT75VR that is tuned in many aspects. The online shop Notebooksbilliger.de that kindly provided us with a review sample currently has the 17-inch scion in...

Corsair Vengeance K95 Gaming Keyboard

BY azrou achraf Corsair is back with a Vengeance, and I couldn't be happier. The Corsair Vengeance K95 ($149.99) replaces the  Corsair Vengeance K90  as the company's premier gaming  keyboard , and the mechanical keyboard keeps nearly everything I loved about the original and steps it up a notch with several welcome improvements, like programmable per-key backlighting, and a black-on-black color scheme that adds a killer look to an already excellent design. Design and Features The Vengeance K95 $161.42 at Amazon  features what may be the best keyboard design I've seen, with a machined aluminum base covered in keys that appear to hover over the black anodized aluminum deck. It's visually striking, but it also makes for completely unencumbered access to all of the keys and easier cleaning of dust and crumbs that would be lost inside a keyboard with the more common recessed keys. Attached to the front of the keyboard is a separate wrist rest, which is covered in ...
