"optical i can see, and it's reasonable, but there are still a lot of places where wireless simply can't do the job, especially when u are in a neighborhood that has too many wireless interfering with each other, having that Ethernet port saves a lot of grief" I haven't used a CD or DVD on my laptop in years. Web-based tools, cloud/network storage, downloadable apps, and cheap USB flash drives have eliminated the need for discs. Ditching these components makes the machine thinner, lighter, and frees up space inside the case.Īnd, many won't miss the optical drive. Many Windows-based ultrabooks lack Ethernet ports and optical drives. Just to be clear, this trend didn't start with the new MacBook, nor is Apple the only company to move in this direction. With the next-generation MacBook Pro, Apple is further merging the Air and Pro lines (or at least their feature set) and moving us closer to a disc-free, wireless future. But, it lacks two features that until now, have separated the Pro and Air product lines-an Ethernet port and optical drive. The new Pro sports an Intel Core i7 (Ivy Bridge) processor, a Retina display, and ultra-thin design. At WWDC 2012 on Monday, Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller unveiled hardware updates to the existing MacBook Air and MacBook Pro lines along with a brand new next-generation MacBook Pro.
