Thinkpad vents some Air

It is a funny advert but in fairness completely bollocks. The last time I used the CD/DVD drive on my MacBook Pro was about a month ago to burn something. Before that, about three months. Before that maybe 6 months, probably more. Yet everytime I carry my MacBook Pro around I am carrying around this dead weight. 3 minutes of use in 8 months does not justify a built-in optical drive. I can’t remember the last time I installed anything from a CD. And boy is it noisy and slow when I do use it. Even when I do need it to burn something I have three iMacs and a billion PCs around the office with DVD burners.

As for the USB hub mess I use one USB port a day (for the iPhone) and occasionally need to use a second USB port for a memory card reader. Guess what, a MacBook Air does fine for that usage.

If however you use an optical everyday and have a dozen USB using devices then by all means get a Thinkpad. Different strokes for different folks you know.
