TUAW article The only thing I've used my optical drive for recently is playing a CD. I don't understand how you're to get your music in to your iTunes Library if there's no CD/DVD drive. Mark |

I'm sure Apple would prefer it if you bought it from their online music store. |

You could buy a superdrive (providing they unlock the firmware on it to make it work with the MBP). |

Or you could just nip to PCsRus and buy any old USB dvd drive for about 30 quid. Since 10.5, pretty much any USB dvd drive will work on a Mac no problem. I mean, how does any other netbook owner rip CDs and DVDs? Jon |

I do know the MBA can share a drive from another computer, but if you're getting a MBP and it's your main machine I guess some sort of USB/FW/ExpressCard solution is the way forward. Mark |

Except they'll probably drop the expresscard & FW. Damnit USB wins |

How much do you have to move? Can't you fob it or transfer it over a network? I haven't used a Mac for about 5+ years so I'm not sure what they can/can't do. |

Chortle. Upon visiting TUAW, I'm asked if I'd like to update Silverlight. Anyway, pure speculation. Wait and see, wait and see, as always. |

I know the story has been debunked, but: Apple have started putting the OS on a thumb drive, other optical media could follow. Light Peak/USB 3.0 could replace current I/O. The Internet is getting faster and ever cheaper, so download/transfer stuff across it. If you use a laptop as your current main machine, don't get a new MBP? Everyone else who has some other computer could probably share the drive over the network... |

I confess I had to click on the link, as "MBP" meant absolutely nothing to me.
