Air Superdrive - a triumph of minimalist design

Although I rarely need a DVD/CD drive for my Air, from time to time it's still handy.

Today I plunked down $99 to get the Air Superdrive. Works nicely but the really striking thing about it is that this product is at the peak of Jobsian minimalistic design.



It's symmetrical, clean, and functional. They've left out the activity light, and the eject hole and the result is a piece of art.

The only pity is that they have to put all those silly compliance labels on the base but even those are very low key.

It is truly a triumph.
