The answer to your question is, No. I have a MacBook Pro ME662LL/A 13.3-Inch with Retina display and it does not have a DVD drive. Some of the older models, however, do come with a built-in DVD drive. If you're thinking of buying one I suggest you carefully check out the specifications of the one you like, making sure that you will get what you need and want. If you have already found one, then it is a fairly simple matter to determine whether it has a DVD drive or not.

The new Apple Macbook Pro does not have a DVD player. Neither does the 15.6 inch. The old models 2011 have a DVD player integrated. For 79US$ you can buy portable Apple DVD player which be connected through USB connection.

No they do not. I am considering buying one myself. I will not buy the Mac external drive. I have heard that Samsung sells a much better one but it's ten dollars higher. There are cheaper ones that I am told that are as good as Mac's. I love Mac computers but I am not a fanatic.

The new macbook pros do not have a cd/dvd drive. You have to buy an add on if you need. The smart drive is about $80. I bought one for my imac and use it for my macbook pro as well. I think I have used it once. It is really for old stuff since most software purchased is downloaded and music can be streamed.

Yes, my MacBook pro has a superdrive (CD/DVD)It can always be sent back. My first one was for a 15" MacBook pro.

No, you would need an actual External Hard Drive, like a Western Digital 1 Terrabyte drive, for instance, to back up using your Mac's built in "Time Machine" software. This Superdrive is for reading and burning CD's and DVD's to and from your computer. You could burn documents, pictures, etc onto a DVD or CD, but that is much more laborious. Hope this helps.

I use a Samsung external DVD writer and it was all simple plug and play. Mac OS automatically picked up the hardware and I did not need any third party software installed.

Yes, any type DVD it will read but your PC program (many are free) does the processing as this is only a read/write drive for a PC/mac

It comes with two discs. One for Mac and one for Windows and I have installed both on my computers but beyond that I don't know.

All Mac OS DVDs shipped by Apple to date have been full versions. Technically, Apple's license specifies that one must buy the box set, (Mac OS, iLife and iWork), if one wishes to upgrade from Tiger rather than Leopard. Nevertheless, the Snow Leopard only DVD installs just the same for those with Tiger, and Apple does not police or punish those who choose this route. The installed OS is still eligible for all 10.6.X updates. Apple does not play the same games Microsoft plays with its OS upgrades. If you are attempting to install the Mac OS on a netbook PC to create a HacIntosh, though, I recall reading of Apple's move to prevent this. The installation program reportedly checks the processor type. If it's an Intel Atom, (i.e. a netbook), it halts all further installation. However, Apple cannot distinguish between Intel processors common to both Macs and PCs. Consequently, one can create a HacIntosh from a standard PC, (i.e. those without an Intel Atom processor), of recent vintage. You might wish to research this point further if this is your intent.

I missed the DVD part of the question. It is definitely possible and easy to burn onto a DVD with software. Your imac should've come with iDVD. There are lots of tutorials on youtube and it's easy to learn.

It did come with any Mac OS Disk. The MacBook arrived fully configured. However, you can get the necessary OS compatible with your MacBook Model from Apple Store.

Yes this laptop does have a disk drive that plays, rips, and burns dvds/cds. It cannot play bluray unfortunately.

Yes. My new Mac didn't even come with a disc drive. I downloaded everything from the website. Forewarned, it's a bit confusing as to what to download.

No dvd drive, but you can easily and cheaply buy an external unit and run it through your USB.

I just recently purchased a MacBook pro with a DVD burner. I asked at the Apple Store about the newest MacBooks and was told they no longer make them with a built in DVD burner. You have to purchase that separately and connect using the USB port.

This is just the divice; it does not come with the software; that has to be downloaded for your specific operating system. There is more than one choice for the software, (more that one brand name). It is tricky to work correctly on a MAC for Blu-ray, but DVDs work much better. Almost all software available will play DVD an CD on this drive. Apple does not have a business interest supporting external drives like blu-ray, since most of its software, applications, entertainment, are available through iTunes. very respectfully, Curtthom@cox.net, Frankfurt, Germany

It depends on the seller, I purchased one Mac Book that came with several disks, but, the latest purchase did not come with a disk. It really does depend on the seller. You can talk with the seller before you purchase !!!

Yes it does! Everything you need to open up the MacBook and replace the drive. I used the web site www.ifixit.com for step by step directions on how to remove the DVD drive. I now have two Segate Hybrid 750 gig SSD/HDs installed as a RAID, with 8gig RAM and my 2008 MBP laptop is young again!
