[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1492189, member: 46727"] I guess the weight difference (1.5 Lbs) (or feel of it) depends on how often you're carrying it around. I no longer travel about the way you do since I retired from government field work. I do all of my travel now by auto. And I absolutely need the optical drive when I'm away from the iMac at my home office. I have given serious consideration though to the 11" MBA because of its size and ease of transporting. Again the drawback with that is no optical drive but for the size difference I could live with flash drives. Using my iPad 3 (Verizon LTE model, 32 GB) right now but IMO, it's not a substitute for a portable computer. [/QUOTE]
