Does this have a cd/dvd drive or is there an adaptor needed to install a program from a cd?

You need to use an external USB DVD player. It is a great computer. Boots almost instantly. Very fast and powerful.

There is no CD drive. You need a external plugin. But an easier way would be to create an iso image from a PC and transfer to the acer through an usb. Windows 8 can mount iso images to make it appear as a CD.

It does not have a built in cd or dvd drive, most ultraportables do not. You can connect and external drive through the usb port.

No. No cd/DVD drive. Most programs have online drivers so i haven't missed having a physical drive.

Yes, it has a CD/DVD drive. You will need software to play a DVD and I am not sure it comes in the std Microsoft package. I use: Sonic Cine Player DVD which is very inexpensive. I watch DVDs on mine all the time.

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, I did install one, but hardly use it. There are some CD/DVD/BR that do not image correctly to the hard disk, but copy ok when duplicated from one drive to the other (like MS windows)

No, it does not have a CD/DVD drive installed. It can work with a portable USB drive in a very limited way to read CD and DVD disks but cannot write to them.

This did come with a cd, however my laptop uses windows 7 and all I had to do was plug and play.

You will have to purchase the CD/DVD drive separately. The product does not come with a CD/DVD drive installed.

no. this machine do not have any cd/dvd drive (cause it is lightweight). you can buy an external unit if you want. but to be honest, rarely you will need a dvd unit.

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.

No, the laptop does not have a CD /DVD drive. You are able to connect an external one to the laptop, if that helps.

Yes, you can use an external CD drive to install software. Are you using a computer without a CD drive?

No it does not have a cd/dvd player. You can buy a separate external player that will connect via usb.

It has a mini cd. Works ok with windows 7 but the picture does freeze up on my computer sometimes. Also needs something stiffer to push the camera down the pipe.

My package came with the CD & instruction sheet. If I remember, connect the device in the USB port, place the CD in the drive & run the setup program.

It does have a DVD/CD drive. That description auto populates amenities find it confusing as well

Nope, not unless you get an external drive. It doesn't come with a CD drive at all.

No - I recommend getting either an external DVD/CD reader, or an external hard drive such as a Western Digital passport that you can store larger files such as installation media, etc. and run those from the external drive.
