Does it come with a DVD drive?

Unfortunately not a physical one, It has a mountable disc drive. Additionally, you can purchase an external Disc drive that connects via USB ports, which are relatively inexpensive. It depends on how often you use your disc drive

The reason why it is so light is because it does not come with a DVD drive. Though it auto-detect devices such as printer and USB flash immediately and will download the proper drivers to function, so you don't even need the DVD drive to install your new printer. I don't know about other devices, but it shouldn't be an issue since everything is on the internet now. Unless you want to burn CDs or import songs from CDs, then yeah, you're gonna have to get one that connects through the USB. I hope this helps.

It does not have a DVD drive. There is an external drive available. Personally, I used my old iBook's drive very rarely.

I'm not quite familiar with the term DVD drive. If it means the same as DVD player, then yes it has the player. Not sure if it's ROM or RW. Lastly, yes it does have a built in webcam

I believe it does. I have the silver version of this laptop and it does have a DVD RW drive. If you select the second image on the main page for this laptop and zoom in by selecting the right hand side of the image, you will see there's a DVD logo visible, the logos are exactly what I have on my drive. Check with the Acer website to be sure but I would say it's almost certain that it does have a DVD/CD drive (but don't sue me if it doesn't, do due diligence). :-)PS: I love this laptop and use it in preference to my 20 inch touchscreen PC.

No it does not... in fact it doesn't have a cd or dvd drive at all. That's what make it so light and portable...like a macbook air. Most people just use USB sticks now anyways :)

No CD drive, but I bought an optical drive that can play DVD's and plugs into one of the USB ports from Amazon for about $20 -$25. Works fine! I read all the reviews for the Acer. It has exceeded my expectations in all regards but one. Periodically it makes a loud buzzing sound and the only thing I can do is shut it down and reboot. Never been any other repercussions from it though.

It does not come with cd/dvd drive. This was fine for my needs because I don't use them very often and it reduces the size considerably. When I need use a cd/dvd, I use an external cd/dvd drive which connects to the laptop via USB & works great.

No, no optical drive at all and no space for one. I picked up a Samsung USB DVD drive for about thirty dollars on Amazon. That does the job and is very thin to match this laptop.

I actually baught this computer for my girlfriend. It does come with a DVD drive, it's a USB DVD/RW. Which means it does come with a DVD burner, but you have to plug it in to one of the USB ports to use it. There are no Internal drives in this computer.

Yes, it does. It doesn't have dvd driver. I bought a external dvd driver for $30.

No it does not unfortunately. It is a simply DVD player, lightweight, and at times a little noisy but is decent.

no it does not. it is like a chrome book, does not have a CD/DVD drive, does have USP 2.0 and 3.0, along with HDMI ports. you can use an external DVD drive. I did look it us and found that it is upgradable. I hope this helps.

No, the computer is a ultrabook and does not come with the CD or DVD drive. But the truth is not necessary

No it doesn't have a DVD/CD DRIVE. I didn't realize until after I bought it but I picked a decent one up from dell for less than $30

The short answer - no. It does not have a cd rom, blu ray, or dvd drive. Having said that, you can purchase a stand alone drive and usb it to the laptop.

I'm pretty sure that one has the dvd drive. I replaced the hdd with an ssd really easily.

Unfortunately No it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. Windows comes pre-installed, you can always wipe it up and auto-install the windows natively without a dvd . I'm genuinely happy with the laptop using it for about an year now, works great, feather lite.
