I will be picking up a base 13" air today online and was wondering if I should pick up a superdrive now or later.

Later if you have access to an actual Apple store.

If for some reason you need to return it, it's much harder to return to the online store.

You can return anything Apple to one of the stores if you bought it from Apple online. It's only a pain if you bought it online from a third part vendor.

As for the Superdrive, just wait, you'll likely realize you don't use CD's all that much. Unless of course, you do.

i bought a 13 MBA today (256/i5) as well as a superdrive. i didn't really want to get the superdrive but i don't know how else to load windows 7. no, of course i don't want to put windows crap on my MBA but there is non mac software that i have to use for my job.

i had planned to use the remote dvd share from my imac but i don't think that works when installing windows 7 through vmware fusion and honestly i don't want to jack with it.
