In the new generation of mobile computers MacBook Pro, Apple plans to get rid of optical drive. Major notebook manufacturers like Dell, HP and ASUS are planning to follow Apple , excluding the drive from the construction of laptop with sizes more than 15 inches.
Acer has already considered the possibility of rejection of an optical drive in notebooks with large diagonals. However, the company was forced to freeze the initiative in this direction.
Curiously, the lack of optical drive makes the laptop just 1 millimeter thinner, and the cost of a computer is reduced by $ 20. However, if the decision will gain consumer acceptance in the future, we are waiting for a massive rejection of drives in laptops.
