Coincidentally, I'm also missing the ethernet jack and internal blu-ray drive that my last laptop had. Dongles and external hardware suck. They make the whole experience of using the machine more awkward and less streamlined.
- zokier 9y agoOptical drives are really a niche item these days, dropping it is understandable, especially considering the disproportionate space requirements of a drive. But ethernet, that is something I don't want to lose. Not because I can't get internet otherwise, but for getting access to restricted networks, or some quick troubleshooting etc.
