Modern computers, ie; MacBook Air, as well its clones, i.e.; HP & Google no longer come with CD/DVD. It`s been a few years now. Everything is digital - renting / purchasing movies, musics and even software programs. ;)

Maybe Apple is so desperate they are now taking free advertising anywhere they find it.

If you're planning on sitting in a coffee shop for anything more than an hour or hour and a half, you REALLY need to "get out" more.

that looks a lot like a 200$ netbook i got 3 years ago when i forgot my computer at home this one time. small, 13" screen, compact, almost no weight, was playing bluray and HD movies i downloaded and had a 150 gig HD. battery would only last 4 hours though so that sucked sort of.

what was the price on this amazing machine ?

Road warriors and jet travellers rejoice, we've found a laptop that will last all day and well into the night. The newest Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (Mid-2013)
lasted an astonishing 15-and-a-half hours on a battery test that makes most current mainstream ultrabooks and ultraportables cough and die after four to six hours. The fact that the system gives up very little if any day-to-day performance is astounding. This isn't a low-powered slate tablet that gives up computing performance in exchange for battery life. With the latest MacBook Air 13-inch, you have a fully functional ultraportable laptop with extremely long battery life, as it should be. If you need to do real work on a plane, train, or out in the field, get a MacBook Air 13-inch. It's our new Editors' Choice winner for mainstream ultraportable laptops.

With double the battery life of the strongest current Windows 8 competition, the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (Mid 2013) adds epic untethered usability to a highly portable system. While systems like the Acer Aspire S7-191-6640 and Vizio CT14-A4 start to approach the MacBook Air's portability, none can approach that level of work utility away from a power outlet. The MacBook Air 13-inch (Mid 2013) is the system you want to be using if you need to deliver real work away from your desk. The fact that it can return such a long battery life while still using a mainstream processor is astonishing. Make no mistake, this simple score shows that laptops haven't conceded the battery life prizes to the mobile OS tablets yet. The MacBook Air 13 is close, but not quite perfect, since it lacks a built in HDMI-out port and the slower-clocked processor returns slower multimedia performance on benchmark tests than rivals. That said, due to its excellent battery life, portability, and its very good day-to-day performance, we have no qualms in giving the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (Mid 2013) the Editors' Choice for ultraportable laptops.

I used only mac sources so they could report it without bias ;)

oh btw excellent battery life ;)
Yes, they do. Apparently, it's due to a bug within latest version of OS X not an hardware issue.

And here's one more review from a very respectable site ;)
