Does this laptop have a optical drive? dvd drive?

There is a hard drive and a DVD. DVDs I suppose are considered optical as they use laser light to read the data. If there is a new hard drive technology that is considered optical, I don't know. Best to check the Dell web sight for best information. They sometimes have a quick chat expert that is very good at these questions.

No. It has no optical drive, making one more reason I regret ever buying this monstrosity of poor design.

No it does not have a DVD/CD Drive. It has 3 USB ports, HDMI port and SDHC card reader.

No, this computer does not come with a DVD drive. I would not recommend buying this computer, as I purchased it barely three months ago and the hard drive already died.

it does not have a dvd drive, but you do not need one to install Windows stuff. Ggo to the Microsoft sight and check out getting the whole or part of their package. The price isvery nice for all you get and since it is not actually on your laptop it is always up to date, you do not have to do anything but uusee it

It doesnt not include an optical drive for DVDs/CDs. You will need to purchase an External Drive.

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.

There is no optical drive (CD or DVD). You can buy an external drive and plug that if you need to use discs for some reason.

No, there is no CD/DVD drive. It's an ultra small form factor. You can certainly use a USB drive if you need that functionality. I've seen a Lenovo specific one that mounts right to the adapter plate that mounts the workstation.

No, it does not have an optical drive (dvd-r-rw). However, you can purchase an external optical drive that connect to the USB port for about $40.

No... CD/DVD drive. This is a Netbook. Get a larger Laptop if you need a CD/DVD drive. :-)

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.

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. Has no optical drive. Great machine for its purpose, but connections is not part of that. Only ports are three USBs.

No. Like most other 11.6" notebooks this does not have a built-in optical disc drive. If you require an ODD, purchase an external USB 2.0 ODD and take it with you.
