A while ago, a few friends showed me a video on youtube on Apple's release of their new ultra-thin & sexy
MacBook Air.
Later on, Gizmodo had some *leaked* info & specs on
Lenovo's ultra-thin Thinkpad X300.

* Lenovo's laptop isn't out for consumers yet.
** Thinkpad's are IBM laptops. Lenovo handles them now, instead of IBM.

Im pretty sure the Thinkpad wont have a built in optical drive. We have the "ultra lights" at work now and they dont.
Anonymous,
Unfortunately, you're mistaken. According to the diagrams released, on the right side, there's a slot called: ODD, this is where CD/DVD devices slip in.
I think ODD means: On Demand Device.
Interesting. So Mac Air isn't that appealing after all. Attractive from the outside, empty from the inside.
