I just purchased a refurbished 800mhz G4 iBook from Apple. It only has a CD-ROM, and originally I fell for the low price of $749. At the time apple had the combo drive units at $849, they've since been dropped to $779 but are in short supply. Now I'm wishing I had at least a combo drive--or even better a Superdrive. I know I won't even use the burning capability that often, but I just love the idea of having a "portable movie studio" if the need every came up.
Does anyone have any experience with the MCE SuperDrive upgrade for the G4 iBook? The upgrade is $299 so it is not cheap. I paid $749 for the 12" iBook so I'd now have a Superdrive G4 800 ibook for $1099.
Should I go for it? Or should I sell the iBook and look for a Rev A or B 12" AlBook w/ superdrive? I definitely want to stick with a 12" 'book.
I hope you get some good answers because I'm considering the same upgrade on my 12" G3. The price really isn't that bad considering that it is the only way possible to get a superdrive in a 12" iBook (not an option from Apple).
