+1 I've only used the disc drive three times to burn some mp3 cds for my car and installing office, but that's mostly stuff you do at home, on the go I really don't see the point. Besides you can torrent most of the applications anyways which kinda defeats the purpose of the disc drive.

The only occasion I'd see that you might need the ethernet and is plausible is if you're going away on holiday and the motel/hotel only has the ethernet cable, but I find most have switched to wifi anyways so NBD. I kinda regret not waiting for the MBA the MBP is a little heavy to be bussing with along with a textbook + notebook.

Is there anything on appstore you guys would recommend looking into? I only opened it once and found it kinda pointless so I removed the icon from my dock lol
