my MAC Clinic says only the 13 inch model has DVD and CD capabilities? are they talking about the newer version, since I would LOVE the 15"!

My new version 13 inch has the dvd/cd. I do not know about the 15 inch Macbook.

the non retina pros have dvd slots the retinas don't have one you would have to buy a separate dvd player.

Haven't tried making CD's yet, but I do know I can that it works on my MAC and I can play DVD's. I have an old MAC that runs on OS X. I guess you can try it, I would.

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.

Define latest? For Mac, it comes w/ no software. Blu ray software can be bought for $60 on app store. I rip my movies to play on roku or apple tv, so I don't use the player. For my windows, it comes w/ an OEM version that is 2 versions old....I didn't install it as I already had something newer. The drive works great w/ DVDFab. I'm very pleased with this drive and recommend.

It's now 12/28/07. So what's the situation w/ leopard etc? Has any one ordered a macbook from Amazon since nov 25th 07?Amazon.com? What's the deal with not stating what OS comes with the Macbooks you are shipping out? It might be actually causing drop in Macbook sales for you guys. Get with it and state that 'yes they do come with Leopard now!' I'd rather purchase from Amazon (less scary return policy) but I might have to order from Macconnection.com as the price is the same (actually with them you don't have go thru the hassle of the rebate as their price reflects $100 discount) and their site clearly states that they do come with Leopard and iLife 08....

Hi Blake W. Thank you for your interest in the macbook. All of our listed units don't have any extra software loaded. Only the Operating System is loaded for functionality. By Microsoft are you talking about Office? Thank you! CRS Support

I am so thru with Micro crap, Windows 8 was the last straw. I love my Mac, so much faster and no spyware issues. There are a few incompatibility issues but I can live with them. 120gb hard drive and 1gb ram should be good unless you have huge storage needs like lot's of videos and pictures. Takes some getting used to, read the manual when starting out.

haha go ahead and vent :)If I were you I would just wait. But dont buy the AppleCare for your 80gig. Just use it till it dies and isnt covered by warranty, and get whichever new one comes out. However next time check out macrumors and they have a buying guide, it shows you the past "update" history of the various mac products and gives you a small bit of advice on wether to buy or not. I'm going to stick with my 30gb for now too. Maybe give it to a family memeber later and buy a new one later :)

Excellent review. My questions are: 1. After you made your 17 Gb movie did you burn it into iDVD? If so, how did you fit that size movie into a 4.7 GB DVD?ThanksSony DCR-SR100 novice mac user (G5 imac)

Thank you all for the replies. That really cleared most of my concern. Now I'm trying to decide between Macbook Air and Macbook Pro. I still prefer macbook air because of the weight (thanks for bringing up the heavy textbooks factor:). however if it turns out Windows software is necessary, i might be interested in a macbook that's easier to setup two os. From what I heard so far, macbook air would be a headache to do that because of the lack of DVD/CD rom. I still have a lot of time before making the final decision though. Thanks again for your inputs.

Ryan...the case I purchased was for the 13" - the body style of my version is identical to the models from that year. I have the last model that Apple will make with the DVD drive in the body. It is really the late 2012 model. The key for you is that you will need to make sure you purchase an incase that is for your size (13" or 15"). Unfortunately, I tried looking at Apple stores and various electronic superstores and Amazon is the only location that has them. This is not a bad thing - Amazon is great. It simply means if you have to return you are stuck with the delay that comes with shipping and the whole refund process.As long as you order the right size, I believe you will be okay.

Not familiar with Mac availability. Only know that it's worth about $9.95 at the most.

That one on the photo look like the New version to me. Probably a newest version will come out ? But, if you are interested in buy a Mac, it will be a good choice. If you have an Amazon store card buy it because you will get up to a year without in interest charge . That's how I bought mine. No problems so far . Good Luck !

I received mine new in June of this year and I believe it is the Oct. 2013 release. Part #ME293LL/A, model# A1398. It is the 15.4" with Retina Display Macbook Pro. There is no DVD drive. I got the iPearl McCover hard shell case and it is a perfect fit and went on easily, just need to be careful so as not to break the small clips. I would be surprised if it doesn't fit but can't guarantee that. Also did not realize they released a mid 2014 one? Not having that particular model listed may exclude it or it is very possible it will fit. Hopefully others might chime in for you. Good luck!

It's a good laptop for college, just know that it is older unless the seller has updated it so if they have not then you will be limited as far as downloads go. I actually have a new Macbook Air and with Macs they are already limited and then you add the age would make it very limited with basic downloads like Adobe, etc. Try looking around locally on Craigslist and you may find one that are updated with the newest OS. Hope this was helpful.

I checked the back of the package and it states: Mac OS x 10.9, 10.8, 10.7, 10.6 2 GB free disk space, DVD optical drive. Hope this helps.

The time I wrote the review, they only supported Windows. They support the Mac now. If you plan to buy, you might want to look into their 22 inch. They stated that they will no longer make / support the 19 inch.
