>> CD Drive
It's 2015. Very, very few people need that.
>> Ethernet
Probably should be on a pro laptop but again it's not used very much anymore.
>> 17" screen
Doesn't the addition of retina resolution to the 15" make up for this?
Also this is nothing to do with the new MacBooks as those things have been gone for quite a while now.
- Tloewald 11y agoI'd love a 17" rMBP. It would still be lighter than the older 15" MBPs with optical drives. I'm sure there are some pro users who need ethernet ports (e.g. for tethered shooting with a pro camera body at sporting events where wifi is not even an option).
