Optical drive has gone the way of the floppy on the "next generation" MacBook Pro. It's still there on the "old" MacBook Pros that just got a spec bump today.

Not so sure about the updated MacBook Pro as the spec sheet does not list a optical drive. So it might also be gone.

Gone. You can only order an external drive.

MagSafe2 is just thinner, not electrically different.

We are all watching the same live blogging as you.

Anyone who would know (an Apple employee) isn't going to comment publicly today.
