    Although the Apple-branded DVD/CD drive is more expensive than others, its quality and reliability is worth the extra cost.

    Computer does not come with optical drive. To reload all my DVDs, I needed an external one. Apple computers work better with Apple accessories.

    Had to buy since new Macs don't come with a disc drive. I guess with all the dependence on immediate downloads and cloud access for programs, the disc drive has become, if not obsolete, a bit 'old school'. Ok, maybe not everyone needs one but, does it really cost that much to add it on to the unit or do you really need to charge this much for the add-on? Such is life sometimes, I guess.

    The drive is fine, but it's frustrating that Apple sticks us with an extra $80 cost for this item.

    This is pricey but worth the money. The last brand we bought broke within 3 months. This is much, much better.
