So long, farewell: The last Apple MacBook Pro with a CD drive is now obsolete

This is a modified image of an 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro laptop.

Today, was the end of an era, of sorts: That's because Apple added the mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro—the last model to include a built-in optical drive for reading and writing CDs or DVDs—to its list of products that it considers obsolete.

Macrumors said that this MacBook Pro model, “remained for sale until October 2016 as a lower-priced option.”
