There's still an optical drive on the 13 and 15" non-retinas 😀

Go the MBP page -> features -> click MBP 13in/15in banner -> scroll down. It talks about the Superdrive

Burn DVDs superfast.
Use the 8x SuperDrive on MacBook Pro to burn DVDs in no time. Since the SuperDrive writes to double-layer discs (DVDs with nearly 9GB of space), it’s great for backing up data, too.

Agree , not seeing it here: http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/13-and-15-inch/

Yet do here: http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/features/13-and-15-inch/

Sucks. I'd rather have that extra weight.

If you try to buy the Retina MBP, they give you the option of buying an external SuperDrive. But if you try to buy a non-Retina MBP, there's no option to buy an external SuperDrive, so they would have to still have an internal SuperDrive.

It is there on the non-retinas - on the features page it even shows a picture of it.

Unsarcastically, some of us want it, to swap it out for a second internal drive.

13" and 15" are the same as before with spec bump and usb3. so no.

I know - I'm not saying it isn't a logical step from Apple's side, but I still buy a lot of CDs and DVDs, so it would have been a welcomed feature in my book.

Buying a non-Retina Macbook would be just silly IMO.
