just cause YOU dont use it, it doesnt mean that everyone else does. that is such a selfish comment. ahhh. now i have no rage. its good to write things down. yes.
Hey jeeesus. It's obvious that there are people (like me and Fatima) who never use the optical drive. So it's good to have a computer without it. Your comment seems to imply that since YOU use it, then EVERY computer needs to have one. If Fatima is selfish, I think you are too.
You do know it's a notebook, not a laptop, don't you? Forget the drive, pickup stuff you need for it wirelessly at home, and off you go. If Apple really wanted to get minimal, they should have dropped the keyboard, made it a touchscreen and made the screen a touch smaller, say 10". It would then be more of a tablet I know, but much handier, I think.
Too big a screen-if you are going to use it for traveling, then a 13" screen is a burden, not a benefit. Opening this thing on econo class in an airplane, or even sitting at a restaurant table waiting for an airplane, would be no different than a "regular" laptop. They should have gone for 10" or less.

Make it cheaper and give it a DVD drive.

Cheaper yes, DVD drive no. Any disk drive is quite useless. I never use mine.

By the way, Jeesus, the name of the post is "How would YOU change Apple's Macbook Air?".

And better designed USB and power ports. The ones on it now are just stupid.

Would love to have a 10" screen instead of the 12"... if you are traveling, might as well travel light...
