A blast from Apple’s past is on sale for just $60
Way back in 2012, Apple began phasing out optical drives from its Macs, beginning with the MacBook Air in 2008 and ending with the Mac Pro in 2013 (though a legacy MacBook Pro remained available until October 2016). But if there are still times when you wish your Mac had an optical drive, you can get one for just $60 today.
Amazon’s Woot is selling Apple’s USB SuperDrive External Optical Drive for $60, a savings of $19 on the 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, it’s everything you need to play 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, campaign trips, and anywhere else you might want to kick back and watch a movie.
This deal is only available in the Woot app and ends Sunday. Amazon Prime members will get free shipping.
