I've been perfectly happy with the very thin and light Thinkpad 570s and X20s myself, neither of which have any DVD burner, nor any DVD or CD ROM drive, or, indeed, any built in disk drive what so ever. What's the need if you're a developer? Perhaps it would help if you told us what /kind/ of developer you are? If I was to shop around for a new laptop right now, I would most likely go with a Thinkpad X30 or X31, the younger brother of my older systems. Very thin, very light (~1.4 kg), awesome battery life and an incredibly good keyboard, especially for a laptop.
