I've had the exact same experience. When I read that the MacBook Air didn't have an optical drive, my first reaction was "WTF?", but then I counted how many times I've needed mine, and it turned out to be zero.

- rms 19y agoBeen using a 12" laptop without an optical drive for about a year now. I only missed it when I wanted to finally install Linux about a month ago. I couldn't get it to work from a bootable USB drive so I ended up borrowing a friend's external CD drive. Glad to be rid of Windows, even if the fonts aren't very good. I'd kill for the equivalent of Windows standard font smoothing in Linux.
