I don't see why the lack of an optical drive is a minus. Today flash drives can hold a lot more storage than any DVD and the clunky mechanical mechanism is a thing of the past. the 4810t and 5810t do have one though. I want the weight savings and can hook up a portable DVD at home if I really do need it (and that hasn't happened in the past) Posted by Martin, USA
