Macbook Air Superdrive

Macbook Apple Air Superdrive

I' m very dissapointed with the Apple Superdrive. Knowing in advance that it was more costly than the competition, that it didn't have a strobe lamp or discharge key, that it only worked with Macbook Airs, and that its cable wasn't detachable, I decided to buy it. The cable is only 9 inch long.

The computer will no longer detect the diskette. This is a device I purchased to view DVD discs in my bedroom, and that's not possible if you balance the notebook and a seperate device 9 inch away. And now I realize that I can't even lengthen the cable. Well, if I could only give back the hardly used SuperDrive at the full cost.....
