I'm afraid to say, it seems Apple have made a bit of a blunder with this product.
The new Macbook Air, skinnier than a stick insect and sexier than Kelly Brook... but... it has NO OPTICAL DRIVE!
Now, I can appreciate the fact that it is aimed at 'elitists' who 'already have a mac' and wish to 'wirelessly connect, wirelessly download, install, transfer, shake a sticky thumb at, do the okey kokey... and all the rest of it using their existing mac or PC, but I still can't see the logic in it. And you know the most abhorrently frustrating thing about this? They provide disks with it. Install disks, factory reset disks, driver disks, with a product that doesn't have a flippin' CD drive.
Way to go Steve!
