eMac Gets SuperDrive

Posted by pudge on from the it-is-nice-to-see-1.44MB-floppies-still-getting-some-use dept.

unspec writes "For those looking for cheap Macintosh DVD authoring, Zettabyte Solutions have a press release describing the SuperDrive-equipped eMac they will soon be offering." I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to convert your own eMac to a "SuperDrive," but I don't really know.

  1. Warranty Claims? by Blackstealth · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Chances are that Apple won't hold up your warranty if they find your eMac's been opened up by a dealer and had a SuperDrive fitted. It's not one of their configurations so they'll not look too kindly upon it...

  2. iMac vs. eMac by HiredMan · · Score: 3, Insightful

    At that point there's only aboput $100 between the flat panel iMac with the SuperDrive and the eMac with the SuperDrive.

    Same processor and speed, same HD space etc. The eMac's screen is slightly larger 15" vs. 17" but the LCD has an viewable of 15" so the difference is not that much... The eMac is probably easier to upgrade for the power-user but that's about it....

    I personally think I'd go for the iMac with it's fancy stylin' - but more power to 'em for trying this out.
