I think you have all you need in the way of peripherals - in fact I did not pick up an external DVD drive - haven't missed it yet!
I have noticed the difference in weight over my MBPro - a kilo is a kilo!
I would get an airplane power adapter, an extra power cable (standard one) and an extra dongle for for video out. Those are all from Apple. I would also get a USB hub. I have the one from Hawking Technology. I got it from Amazon and it works great both to add multiple USB devices and as an extender to get devices that are two wide to fit in the small USB port hooked up. Ive been routinely using it with a Novatel USB modem (Verizon) and USB drives.
