Optical drives becoming obsolete?
Proin Drakenzol:
Apple is five years behind everyone else as usual; fullsize laptops have been shipping without optical drives for years. My midrange 2010 HP doesn't have a built in optical drive, though I do have a USB ODD that's come in handy several times

Well apparently to the rest of the uninformed crowd, if Apple hasn't done it yet, then it doesn't count. :P

I have used a CD on my desktop about two times during the last 5+ years now, both times to install a really old game to try it again.

I need a DVD drive to install chipset drivers after a fresh install of Windows. And nope, can't download the drivers because the LAN port won't work before you install the drivers from the DVD.
