I will concede that it may be a good laptop for commuters or travelers or something but this is no main computer.

Some of us don't have dvd players in the house. And the fact that one uses the cd drive infrequently almost makes it worse. Sure you don't use it a lot but how about that one time when it's crucial. Then you have to pay for a gadget you're not going to use again.

Excuse me for sounding bitter but I like my computer, I even like vista so those attack ads... and by extension, Apple Co.... piss me off.
