Can understand why they'd ditch ethernet - laptops are primarily mobile devices, you don't necessarily want them tied down to routers etc.

Still think they're a bit premature in axing disc drives though - after all, download sales of albums have only just overtaken CD sales in the last few months (AFAIK). DVDs aren't exactly dead yet either.
