Yeah who knows how old this is. A builtin DVD/CD/bluray player? Tweet has date cut off.
But also yeah, I agree with the rest. I tried with the small form factor laptops for a while but in the end it’s neither here nor there: I’m not taking it with me everywhere (I don’t work in tech), even if it’s small. And the times I do take it with me the size does not matter much - as long as it still fits in my backpack I guess.
As someone who has used the peripheral ones, there is a tradeoff compared to built-in: they break more frequently. There’s just not enough “armor” keeping the internals safe from even just being squished a little too hard in a backpack
TBF I’m happy with an optical drive being a peripheral these days, I probably need mine about twice an average year currently
Agree on everything else though. I miss my 17" from ages ago pretty much because it had a numpad
