Product Description:
Whether you're at the office or on the road with your MacBook Air, you can play and burn both CDs and DVDs with the MacBook Air SuperDrive. 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 MacBook Air 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. It connects to your MacBook Air with a single USB cable that's built into the SuperDrive. There's no separate power adapter, and it works whether your MacBook Air is plugged in or running on battery power.

Amazon.com Product Description:
The Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive offers:
  • An external SuperDrive that complements the look of the MacBook Air.
  • Attached USB cord that will never be lost or forgotten.
  • Sleek, easily portable design.
The Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive is the perfect complement for the new, sleek MacBook Air. You can read and write CDs and DVDs, and it is perfect for watching a DVD movie, installing software, backing up your data, and more.



Read and write DVDs and CDs on your MacBook Air.
Burn and Play CDs and DVDs
The new Apple MacBook Air is thin and beautiful, and is able to do tricks such as borrow the optical drive of another computer on a network. But sometimes you need an optical drive on the go, and that's where the Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive comes in. Made by Apple with a design to complement the MacBook Air perfectly, the MacBook Air SuperDrive connects to your MacBook Air with a built-in USB cable you'll never lose. No extra power adapters are needed, as the SuperDrive simply draws power from the USB connection itself, regardless of whether or not your MacBook Air is plugged in.

The SuperDrive features speedy performance, writing DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL discs at up to 4x speed, and DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW discs at up to 8x speed.

Small Size for Easy Portability
The MacBook Air SuperDrive employs a slot-loading design that makes it miniscule--barely larger than a CD case. You can easily drop the MacBook Air SuperDrive into your bag and take it everywhere you go. Now you can enjoy a DVD movie while on the plane or you can burn onto a CD that song you've been working on while you were on the tour bus.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Must-Have
Lightweight. no software to install. just plug in. Good price. If you have a Mac Air, can't do w/o but that's the price you pay for the convenience of a tiny portable laptop


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't buy if offered by Datavision
I ordered this on Dec 5, with "expedited shipping" for $19. Four days later it is still in another city. Since I have experienced mixed success with my MBA's remote access, this is a necessary tool. Amazon's "free shipping" beats this company's "expedited" shipping half the time.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Light as air
I did not look for alternatives. Though this product is expensive, it is a lifestyle companion to Macbook Air.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - not good at all...
Have you ever seen the clip from madtv about a bunch of people adoring Steve Jobs, and crying everytime he open his mouth? I'm that kind of people, I love Mac, fanatically. But in this case after been with the air and the 'superdrive' for some months now, really is not worth the price and effort. I have a multiple hub, and so I have no problem with the only usb provided. But everytime one of my students bring something in a cd, I have to disconnect everything, 'cause this thing only works directly ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great device for the MacBook Air
I purchased this when I ordered my MacBook Air simply because I wanted the back-up security in case it was difficult to install programs through my iMac. I have used it consistently since that time and find it to be a perfectly adequate product. In fact, I would recommend it to anyone who purchases the MacBook Air. It is lightweight and almost as portable as the Air. Definitely recommended.
