the majority of newer laptops are going for a slimline ultralight design
emphasizing their primary design as being portable. 17" laptops are
not that portable or convenient to setup anywhere but on a large clear
table.
optical disk is rapidly going the way of the floppy disk, obsolete.
when even a DVD-Rom has no more than 4GB on it, while a thumbnail sized
USB stick can be 64GB or larger, and is faster (at least on USB3)...
