Software and games can thus also be installed on the laptop.
I hope I was able to answer your question. If so, please accept my answer as an answer to your question.
Yes, the LG GP57ES40 (DVD burner) is compatible with MacBooks. Here are some important points:
- The device supports both Windows and macOS.
- It connects via a USB 2.0 port, which allows for a plug-and-play function once connected to a Mac.
- However, there are some tips to make sure it works properly: make sure the Mac is restarted while the device is connected and, if necessary, use another USB port or a Y-USB extension if the device is not getting enough power from a single USB port.
If you are using Windows, then there is a built-in burning function directly in the system, but it's not really the real thing.
The question is what you want to burn. If you want to burn audio or MP3 CDs, it is better to use a dedicated burning programme (or a media player with a burning function).
I used CDBurnerXP for some time.

According to the following review, it also works under Linux (black model): https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/ProductRating/laeuft-einwandfrei-unter-linux-226542
I also use the DVD device on a USB hub, but not the same one as you. It works wonderfully under my Linux (which, like MacOS, is also Unix-based).
The prerequisite is that your USB hub supplies enough power for the burner. I think that will work.
The LG GP57EB40 DVD writer is capable of playing DVDs. It is a Super-Multi DVD Rewriter, which means it can read and write various DVD formats, including DVD±R, DVD±RW, DVD-RAM, and more.
Regarding multi-region support, the LG GP57EB40 does not explicitly state that it is multi-region capable. Typically, DVD players and writers are region-locked, meaning they can only play DVDs from the region they are designated for. If multi-region support is crucial, you would need to check specific regional settings or modifications, but it is not a standard feature of this device.
I have not tried this myself. According to http://www.lg.com/de/brenner-laufwerke/lg-GP57ES40 it burns all common DVD/CD formats. You can find information about the BP325 burner here: http://www.lg.com/de/support/produkt-hilfe/CT20114015-1359368452203-others. The 8 cm mini CDs are listed there.
