About 30 seconds ago...

I'll stick with my Vaio ta, ever slightly so thicker but it has an optical drive. Personally I couldn't live without one, and carting round an external one somewhat defeats the object of having a small laptop.

Linux

2005...i think

I replaced the Optical Drive in every laptop I've owned since then with a secondary battery.

I'm sick of people insisting that they NEED an optical drive.

Horses for courses though

I'm sick of people insisting I DON'T need an optical drive; I assure you I certainly do :D
