so do any of you think that it'll be possible to upgrade to a superdrive like how apple did with thei combo drives? problay be a crap load of money but yeah still interested. unless the new tibooks are like very different internally.
No, i think alot of things have been moved around to make room for it. I have a theory that the airbort is built in as you can not buy a superdrive model without airport.
the video card is quite improved so an upgrade might be worth it. How old is your Ti
<a href="http://store.powerbook1.com/mcepowg4cdco.html"; target="_blank">MCE</a> has an upgrade to the current 8x Combo Drive for older G4 PowerBooks (for $330 I'm doing it), so I see no reason why they won't offer the SuperDrive upgrade some time in the future. It seems like about a 6 month lag from when the new drive debuts to when an upgrade is offered.
The Airport area of the computer is on the opposite side of the Combo/Superdrive area.
I think it could be a worthy upgrade for any Ti, all I keep seeing is (near) 5 gig's of backup, not to mention all the creative DVD/video fun you could have.
Have you looked at external DVD solutions? Not as cool as having an internal - but will you be burning DVD's on the road? CD's sure.. dunno about DVD's though.
