When choosing a computer, do you still need an optical drive?

If I choose a computer, do I still need an optical drive? It seems the optical drive isn’t very useful, and it breaks down after a short while, only adding to the weight

No thanks. Now USB drives can solve it

It seems like it’s just for show; it seems like all the standard items are already included

Oh, I equipped two desktops, and neither of them needed an optical drive! Bought a laptop; it doesn’t have the required specifications, so I don’t want it. However, for software development or design, a lot of materials are on CDs. There might be a need

Some people still prefer to have them; it’s like a sense of nostalgia, I guess?

I don’t think so; it’s due to inertia. Just like when buying pork, if you think there’s too much skin on it, you still have to buy it anyway and then cut off the skin and discard it. . .

Unless all the USB ports are broken, there’s no need for an optical drive; you can just borrow someone else’s computer to make a copy

No need, I’m already on foot; optical drives are completely useless these days!
