Thank goodness for Satechi!
Sometimes Apple shoots before it aims.
Not all "upgrades" are a step up.
Such is the case with some of Apple's laptops. Apple assumed that people no longer wanted or needed dvd/cd roms because Apple would rather sell you a digital album or movie from iTunes. Perhaps. Perhaps not. Or Perhaps the audio/ video that you want to listen to is NOT available on iTunes. What then?
Thank goodness for Satechi! They have you covered!
