I am willing to let the optical drive go in my next computer, but what I'm not willing to let go of is the storage capacity. Right now I can buy a laptop with 500GB of storage for less than $2,000. Or I can get a MacBook Air with half that. I understand that for the average consumer that 256GB of memory is plenty but I'm willing to exchange weight for storage capacity. And for everyone saying iCloud will eliminate the need for a lot of storage ask yourself if you really want to have to connect to the internet and burn up bandwidth every time you want to access your stuff? In the days of data caps, I don't.
