LG launches Mac-friendly CD/DVD rewriter With 8x read speeds

LG Electronics has launched its "ultra sleek" Mac-compatible portable Super Multi Drive, the GP08-NU10, in the UK.

Designed for use on the go, this CD/DVD re-writer plugs in via a USB so will work with new MacBooks and PC laptops alike.

Available in glossy white, LG says it's small and light, measuring 21.4mm in height, 165.2mm in length and 156mm in width and weighing 380 grams.

The GP08-NU10 has the ability to read data at 8x and gets "SecurDisc" content protection as standard, which allows users to secure and prevent the loss of data.

Other specs, pricing and availability is yet to be confirmed.
