One optical drive is included with every system - users can
choose the SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW) or a Combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW).

DVD-ROM = DVD-ROM: DVD Read-Only-Memory
DVD-R   = DVD-R: DVD Recordable
CD-RW   = CD-RW: Compact Disk ReWritable

Combo is lower end, it simply burns DVDs, but the DVD-R is Rewritable if I
understand it right.

I believe.

And here we are in a new space. :-(

Feels "foreign"
