My MacBook doesn't have a DVD-R burner...

Question

Am I allowed to download/buy a program that allows me to have a DVD-R burner?

Answer 1

Go up to the apple in the left hand corner. Click
it, then choose more info. Now click disc burning.

What does yours say?
If you have a combo drive, you have two choices. You
can buy a superdrive and have it installed. Voids
your warranty. Or you can buy an external burner.
Lots cheaper than having one installed.
