[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 985218, member: 56379"] Here's a quote from the article you linked: [i]the internal drive component is interchangeable with the internal 12.7mm 17″ Macbook Pro and most G4 PowerBook drives. It will not work with 15″ MacBook Pro or 13.3″ MacBook models since they need a slimmer 9.5mm SuperDrive.[/i] The [b]VAST[/b] majority of MacBook & MacBook Pro owners own the 13" & 15" models. The article clearly states that this external MacBook Air superdrive [b]will not[/b] fit into a 13" or 15" MacBook or MacBook Pro. The OP has a MacBook...which is generally a 13" model...thus swapping the MacBook Air external superdrive into his/her MacBook [b] WILL NOT WORK![/b]. But yes I agree (according to the author)...it appears that the external MacBook Air optical drive will fit into some Macintosh laptops...the 17" MacBook Pro's & older G4 Powerbooks. - Nick [/QUOTE]
