I find it a bit daft, CD / DVD is still a hugely supported format, I still like to burn the odd CD or when I buy a new device such as a camera etc, the software comes on CD...

Yeah that is a massive downer on the New iMac..... It's pushing me away from possibly buying an iMac.

I complete agree, MBP I could understand (portability, weight, blar, blar) but the iMac doesn't need to be portable, light etc.

Previous model was their best yet!

I agree also. Until we all have super fast broadband in the UK, digital media discs will still be the most popular way to buy music/films.

Removing the discs drive also technically should mean they can't call it an "all in one" computer. It's not really "all in" anymore is it?

Crazy decision if you ask me.

How much do they charge for an external drive?

£60 for the Apple USB SuperDrive IIRC.
