Of course, if buying a new one, you're better off ordering a 14.1" iBook with the 4x SuperDrive BTO option.

If the 12" ibook had a superdrive it would cut sales on the 12" powerbook with superdrive.

since the superdrive upgrades i would imagine apple is using a diffrent brand of dvd burner, hopefully a great deal cheaper than the one in the article.

MCE offers the upgrade as well. Not bad price wise and they will upgrade the hard drive while the thing is dissembled. Though at that price point you woul d be close to getting a 12" PB
iBook G4 Superdrive!

One catch with MCE's upgrade is that they don't guarantee iDVD compatibility.
