    Im not all that happy with the lity I have...sometimes a blue screen come up and tell me to check the latest software [none] or hardware [lity] for up-dates...I have the latest firmware and hate rebooting in the middle of a burn...never have this issue w/ my Benqs or any of my cheap sonys when I first started

    Reviewed By: YourLittleSister on 1/29/2008 Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
    This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
    Pros: It has burned everything I have thrown at it so far.
    Cons: I bought this ""philips"" burner to get away from Lite-on. It is just rebranded lite-on. Every other lite-on device I have bought has failed so I was very dissapointed when I saw the lite-on brand name in the power supply. Philips may have made the case, but inside it's a lite-on. Also, the USB cord is very short.
    Other Thoughts: I'll write another review if it fails. I expect it to fail just after the warranty is up.
