Suspect many people would want a CD/DVD drive in their laptop and would be willing to have a slightly thicker and heavier one.

There's a new feature that allows you to install software to the Macbook Air using the optical drive of another computer. The installation goes wirelessly from one computer to the other. Mac or PC. So the only reason now to have a DVD drive is to watch movies.

You can already buy a MacBook which has the optical drive and is slightly thicker and heavier, not to mention less expensive.

I still remember the floppy disc, and how Apple was the first to drop it from their computers. There were moans and groans from many, but it had been years since I had actually used a floppy disc. Never did miss the fool thing.

Then buy a Macbook or Macbook Pro. Voila, thicker, heavier notebook with CD/DVD drive... and faster processor.
