In 2012, Apple began phasing out optical drives from its Macs, starting with the MacBook Air in 2008 and ending with the Mac Pro in 2013 (although an older MacBook Pro remained available until October 2016) . But if you still wish your Mac had an optical drive, you can get one for just $60 today.
Amazon’s Woot is selling Apple’s SuperDrive USB external optical drive for $60, a savings of $19 off MSRP. It has a built-in USB-A cable, so you’ll need a USB-A to USB-C adapter to use it with a MacBook. Otherwise, this is all you need to read and burn CDs and DVDs on your Mac. A 5.47-inch square that’s just 0.67 inches thick and weighs just 3/4 of a pound, the SuperDrive is perfect for vacations, country trips, and anywhere else you might want to relax and watch a movie.
This deal is only available in the Woot app and ends Sunday. Amazon Prime members will receive free shipping.
