Interesting point, void your warranty and save $300, sounds like a 
good trade-off to me.

Actually I think leaving those as options is a legitimate choice.  I 
don't see them as being a big deal for the target audience.  In my 
case, I'd be tempted to add wireless, but don't see a reason to add 
the Superdrive.  Actually I'm a little surprised that there isn't an 
option to get one without an Optical drive as I can see that being 
desirable for schools or businesses.
