Pros: Slim, light, excellent for travel. I'm giving it a 5th star because it does run on USB power if you use a Y cable, allowing it to draw power from two USB ports. (Western Digital has one designed for use with their USB-powered hard drives which works fine with this baby; it's available for ten bucks from the WD website.) I would still plug in the power adapter for burning, but if all you need to do is read a CD-ROM or play a DVD, you *can* leave the power adapter behind.
Cons: fragile construction; treat with care
