Burn DVDs superfast.
Use the 8x SuperDrive on MacBook Pro to burn DVDs in no time. Since the SuperDrive writes to double-layer discs (DVDs with nearly 9GB of space), its great for backing up data, too.
There's still an optical drive on the 13 and 15" non-retinas
Not according to the apple spec sheet ?!
But it does mention it on the features page !
Sucks. I'd rather have that extra weight.
Unsarcastically, some of us want it, to swap it out for a second internal drive.
