Of course you’ll still want to consider other laptop specs and features. Last week, Apple unveiled their new Mac App Store, which takes Apple one step closer to phasing out disc drives altogether and solidifying their claim that the MacBook Air is the future of laptops (at less than an inch thick, the Air doesn’t have a CD-ROM drive at all). If you’re a Mac user, gone are the days when you had to physically buy software at the store, pull out the CD, and install the software from your disc drive. Apple has revolutionized the way we think about technology and how we interact with personal computers.
