With the Apple USB SuperDrive you can play and burn both CDs and DVDs, play MP3 files (like audio books), and listen to music CDs on your iMac. It’s perfect when you want to watch a DVD movie, install software, create backup discs, and more. Only slightly bigger than a CD case, the Apple USB SuperDrive slips easily into your travel bag when you hit the road and takes up little space on your desk or tray table when you’re working. You’ll never have to worry about lost cables with the Apple USB SuperDrive. It connects to your MacBook Pro with Retina display, MacBook Air, iMac, or Mac mini with a single USB cable that’s built into the SuperDrive. There’s no separate power adapter, and it works whether your Mac is plugged in or running on battery power. Just plug in the Apple USB SuperDrive into your Apple computer and it’s ready for use. Easy peasy!
I used my new Apple USB SuperDrive to install TURBOTAX. I’m listening to the unexpurgated Phineas Redux (23 hours, 43 minutes!) by Anthony Trollope (read by the brilliant Timothy West) on my Apple USB SuperDrive, too. For just $80, the Apple USB SuperDrive is a bargain! If you have an Apple computer, you need one of these! GRADE: A
No Apple here, so not for me, obviously.
We’re on the road, finally, after breakfast today. Home on Wednesday.
Jeff, have a safe trip back to NYC! Western NY may see 50 degrees tomorrow! Heat wave!
I’ve got one, and my complaint is it take up a USB port, of which there are few on the new iMacs. I far preferred the previous version of the iMac with the drive in the side of the case.
Rick, I would prefer it if the Superdrive was built-in on the side of the iMac case, too. Both APPLE and MICROSOFT want to dispense with “obsolete technology” like CD-ROM drives.
…and then sell us another piece of equipment if we insist on having a way to play our discs.
Rick, I think APPLE just wants discs to go away. It’s all about “The Cloud” now.
