The first thing ever so noticeable with the Extreme Slim DVD-RW drive from ASUS is that they have crafted a spectacular looking media solution for those on the go. Whether you are on a journey, on the train, on a flight, wanting to watch a dvd whilst cooking, or even relaxing on the sofa this drive will add class to such a simple operation.

Due to the shape and size of this drive, its great for slipping into the notebook/netbook bag and taking with you wherever you go. It comes with DVD-RW functionality and a software package that compliments these features so you have multiple media opportunities right at your finger tips, wherever you are.



The drive does emit some noise when reading discs, no more than a standard portable solution though. When writing discs that noise ramps up ever so slightly but I wouldn't assert this to be disruptive by any means.

This drive was announced at the end of August and we are yet to learn of the price of the unit. So to determine whether it holds good value, for now we cannot say. UPDATE: The price for this unit settles around £43.99 which is very competitive.



Due to the qualities of the Extreme Slim DVD-RW it more than deserves the Gold award. Well done ASUS.
