It seems that Apple has released a patent very recently to put their laptop’s optical drive underneath the laptop. Personally, I find it a horrible idea. If such a thing was released in the future, and we compared both old and new models, I think that people would definitely agree that the current one’s solution is much more appealing.

The only thing positive out of this measure is that it might decrease the thickness of the laptop a bit. But I a bit more thickness to flipping my laptop every time I want to change a CD/DVD.
