What advantages does Super Drive have over Combo Drive?

Burning DVDs

Burning DVDs

Wow, light fast reply.

That's the only advantage? just the ability to burn dvd's? In that case, I'm just gonna save my buck and shoot for a 2.1ghz macbook cuz i have my imac for my processor intensive stuff (video), and ill be using a macbook for ichat, itunes, and safari, so not being able to burn dvd's is no problem.

Most people hate that Apple still sells combo drives in their machines instead of a super drive standard for all the product line, but since you`re not going to burn any DVDs with it you won`t have a problem with the combo drive!

yeah if you have another machine with a superdrive there is really no point to having two. too bad apple doesnt make the combo driv hot swappable so we could put another battery or hdd in there
