The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

Do they give you anything to fill the space where optical drive is?

    For any of the E-series... say if you want to leave your optical drive out to save weight?

    If you ask when you order you can usually get them to throw the Travel-light module in for nothing, normally it's $20.

    Dust is the only bad thing I think. The travel kit (yeah a beautiful name) is just a piece of plastic and doesn't worth $0.2.
    You can put a 3M tape over the space to prevent dust.

    But I don't particularly want 3m tape on the side of my laptop, sorry. It may be a piece of plastic worth 2 cents, but when they throw it in for nothing, you can't really complain.
