I'm looking for a reasonably priced portable dvd/cd player for my laptop.

It's running on windows 10 and I just want it to play dvds and burn/play music onto cd.

If someone could advise me, it would be much appreciated. I'm not looking to use it all the time, so doesn't have to be anything flashy.

They are all the same, choose the cheapest.

See eBay item 292358304755 I bought one of these a few days ago, works fine and less than £12 delivered. No additional drivers needed, "just works" on my Windows 10/64 PC. Note the USB cable is quite short, about 6", shouldn't be a problem with a laptop.

Bear in mind that the £7 cheapies on eBay only write to CD, not DVD. They read DVD, but cannot write to them. But from your description it may be all that you need.

As indicated £12 will get you a DVD Writer and around £17 to £20 will get you a well known brand

Thanks for all the replys.

I basically want to be able to copy my music onto cd and play dvds on my laptop.

I will check out the suggestion.

Cheapest DVD writer I have found is here; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/External-USB-2-0-DVD-RW-CD-RW-DVD-Drive-Rewriter-Burner-writer-for-Laptop-PC-MAC/122981089073 for £7.29

Slightly cheaper version of the one Frozen has mentioned is here; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-3-0-External-CD-RW-DVD-Drive-Writer-Burner-DVD-Player-for-MacBook-Mac-iMac/132483272587 for £9.89

Can't guarantee reliability of either.
