These arguments are still popping up?
I've owned an MBA for about a month -- I haven't missed the optical drive at all. (I've only used the external SuperDrive once since I've bought it.) The power is more than adequate for most tasks. I have yet to feel constrained by the machine's limited expansion options.
On the other, more positive, side of the coin, I'm impressed with the world class screen and keyboard, the excellent build quality (although a screw fell out...?), and the thinness and lightness of it. The MBP feels relatively large and heavy in comparison.
I am not surprised at all by the MBA's positive reception at retail
