It's 2011, when have you last time used an optical drive? I see where you're standing. But actually I receive two DVDs per week in my mailbox, so last time was today. And I still buy CDs, yes. I think what you really want is the next iter

Same here. Using it mostly as a tabletop machine, compromising ethernet or firewire performance for a few mm of thickness would be a no-no. Apart from the screen resolution, though the actual model is already nice, an increased trackpad ar
