Not true. Last year I got an HP Envy 17 (and it's still being sold) and it has a DVD r+w. This can't be the only laptop being sold with an optical drive.
the majority of newer laptops are going for a slimline ultralight design emphasizing their primary design as being portable. 17" laptops are not that portable or convenient to setup anywhere but on a large clear table.
optical disk is rapidly going the way of the floppy disk, obsolete. when even a DVD-Rom has no more than 4GB on it, while a thumbnail sized USB stick can be 64GB or larger, and is faster (at least on USB3)...
