I agree that a laptop without an optical drive would be useful. I would love to have the option of putting a second battery in to double the run time. Smaller and lighter would also be a plus. The idea of a dock for the occasion where an optical drive is needed would work well.
I usually rip my DVDs to MPEG4 anyway. Watching the MPEG4 uses much less battery that wathcing the same movie on DVD and is very useful for long plane trips. I can also keep several movies on my HD to watch at liesure.
