I haven’t heard of anyone trying this so I can’t report on any computer issues, but it is an option if necessary. How? With the DVD/CD sharing technology, you can place a disk in a PC or another Mac and then wirelessly run the disk from the Mac Mini. At first, folks complained that the iPad is not a real computer without a DVD drive, but they adjusted with creating online cloud accounts to share files between their computers and iPads.Įven though there’s no DVD/CD drive in the Mac mini, you can still wirelessly load disks. These devices alone have allowed Apple enthusiasts to apply their downloading philosophy devoid any CDs or DVDs. Within Apple’s foresight was to produce the iOS operating system for the iPad and iPhone.
Apple is pushing everyone to download apps and software from the Apple store, including its operating system. Once again, Apple is retraining how computer users use a computer. Instead, it is a sales machine with revolutionary ideas. Whether it’s an Office CD, game, or music album, the optical drive has had plenty of use.īut, Apple doesn’t do history. Of course, it is cheaper due to less man hours and the physical drive itself, but I have to give credit to Apple for removing what has been historically been one of the most used items of a computer: the DVD/CD drive. To further carry on its disk-less philosophy, Apple has produced the new Mac mini without a DVD/CD drive. But, no thumb drive with OS software has appeared as of yet. Apple has mentioned that they’ll put the operating system on a thumb drive for those who have had Mac issues with the download.
In step with this logic, Apple only allows its latest Apple operating system to be downloaded from the Apple store. Apple support is really pushing its philosophy of iCloud and online storage. I’d like to revisit the mac mini, pondering the idea of excluding a CD/DVD slot. So, while waiting for the iPhone 5 and other updates to come out, the new mac mini showed up earlier this summer.
