I see they (system76) added a model without an optical drive. Good for them. Though I see they still sell models with one. What is the reasoning behind that today, or anytime in the past couple years, is beyond me.
Edit: Same goes for the other manufacturer.
I understand there are people that will buy this, or OpenMoko, or anything like that.. but most of us are not ready to sacrifice basic needs just because we want to use Linux. (Not saying we need to, just as a response to suggestion to buy this kind of hardware)
