Correction, The mac book air is very thin and lite due to no optical drive built in. however you can purchase as well an external DVD drive unit. That connects through usb, as does the local area wired network connection, the air has a small / thin form factor and is extremely lyte weight. Very cool design but I wouldn't own one. They'd be to easy to break.

Hi Mae, The really short answer is the MBA hasn't any sort of optical drive. Not quite sure how that works other than you're supposed to be able to network with another computer, say your desktop that has such a drive, CD/DVD drive in other words and somehow use that as, I'm guessing an external drive. Seems kinda strange to me. *shrugs* The MacBook Pro has a bit more power, larger built in HD and some other things for well. LOL uber techy folks. Anyone else who can jump in with a better explanation, feel free.
