It is worth pondering, as a rapidly evolving technology and it becomes scary. Just ten years ago, CD-RW drive has been an inherent part of the fashionable PC, and now Apple believes is already DVD obsolete artifact. This is the conclusion of one of the readers of American resources, studying the plist file Boot Camp Assistant to the Mountain Lion, and find that the next generation of desktop Mac does not have DVD-drive. Reader finds a list of models that allow you to install Windows 7 from a USB flash drive via USB.
Ultra thin notebook MacBook Air initially went without DVD, with this function perfectly mastered the external DVD / RW-drive Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive. However, the lack thereof in the new Retina MacBook Pro surprised many, though, a special need for it no one is experiencing.
OS X Snow Leopard was the latest version (Mac) OS X, available on DVD. OS X Lion was the first operating system that can be bought in the Mac App Store, and then transfer to a flash drive. Mountain Lion, too, is only available for online download. In addition, all the software offered through Apple's Mac App Store, and iTunes Store is a complete alternative to buying music on a live CD.
In addition to the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Retina DVD drive is missing and a Mac Mini (Mid 2011). Most likely, they will be added and the Mac Pro, and all the family iMac (they are marked on the screen as the "IM130", and "MP60"). And if in the absence of additional notebooks and drive slots playing into the hands of mobility and compactness, the desktop and desktop computers is not the case. While the computer industry has not completely abandoned the DVD / CD media (as happened with the floppy disks), entirely remove the special meaning of the drive there. Although, when Apple was listening to ordinary users? She goes on his way, clearing new trails.
