It's the ratio Apple is selling laptops: 1 MBA every 2 MBP.

Waiting for 3 out of 3 next year.

Hell yeah I hope they murder the hell out of the optical drives and get rid of those wastes of space. 1. I don't use it and 2. I want the people who fight to keep the optical drive and insult those that don't to be pissed the hell off

Brisk sales of the new MacBook Airs only serve to fortify claims that the design of the new portables can be seen as a harbinger for the future direction of Apple's other notebook families, which are similarly expected to adopt smaller footprints and shed yesteryear technologies -- such as hard disk and optical drives -- by the second half of 2012.

Nothing new here. But I plan on buying before any design change in the MBP13.

And 2nd half of 2012? That's still 2 more speed bumps away. Looks like for many the MBP's will be pretty boring for awhile. (in appearance at least).
