A:AnswerLots of MacBook users hate the bar and the trackpad, I'd to the store and give it a nice feel before buying. I personally like the keyboard, trackpad and the bar as well it is so useful.
A:AnswerNo, you have to get an external CD drive if you want to use CDs with it. If you already have an older Mac with a CD drive, it can access that over your home network, assuming it isn't more than 10 years old or so and has a recent macOS release installed on it.
