Congratulations to Apple for making a smart, stylish, simple and practical drive that isn't even matched price-wise by any of the competition. Now that I have it, I'm trying to think of excuses to use it. Why is it we initially got all fussed up about its absence from the first Air? As others have mentioned, the cord is quite short--especially if you're one of those who likes to "lap-compute," with the burner six or more feet away from you on a table or nightstand. 'Fraid the little burner is likely to be flopping about the bed clothing in short order. If it proves too much of a distraction, couplers and extension cables are available. Look for the next edition to solve the problem with a longer, self-retracting cable. On the positive side, the permanent attachment of the cable to the burner is a nice touch, assuring, as would otherwise be inevitable, that it doesn't get misplaced or lost.

Apple Macbook Air SuperDrive (MB397G/A) Overview

 Read and write DVDs and CDs on your MacBook Air. |
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.

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.
