What is that thing on the side in the picture if it's not a DVD drive?

Hey Kaylin - when I first received the unit & held it in my hands - I asked myself that same question: "What is that thing on the side, if it's not a DVD drive?" Answer: "A mostly black piece of glossy plastic!" (LOL / I was hoping maybe the description got it wrong. But no.) It looks like it's "DESIGNED" to accommodate a DVD drive (perhaps in a more expensive model?) But from me to you (person-to-person) it ain't there. Hope this helps! :-) Brian Newberry

Dell has told me via chat that they sell a dvd drive for this computer. I was told to contact their parts department. I have not done this yet because I already have an external drive from my old laptop. And I'm not sure if its a big deal.

It does not include a DVD drive, and there will be 3 USB ports on this unit. Thank you Rugged Notebooks

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

There is not an internal dvd drive. There are USB ports, a card slot and an HDMI port.

It is replaced by the second graphics card. There is no CDROM/DVD/BR drive at all. It has an ultrabay slot that supposedly Lenovo will offer a quick swap DVDRW drive eventually but it has not shown up yet.

The computer has a built in disc drive, reading and burning cds playing DVD etc...unless your looking for something else.

There is a disc drive but I'm not sure. This is not a good computer. The minute I got it was very slow and old. The price to have apple fix and update it was more than the computer itself

There are three bays in front. The top one has the DVD. The bottom one has the Hard Drive. The middle one is open, but maybe the hard drive could go somewhere else. I don't know, I don't want to open up the case at the moment. But you have one without any modifications.

You are welcomed Marilyn. The power cord connects on the left side. (Left would be looking at open screen). Right side is the Optical Drive.

hi nikhil, I have this computer & it does have a integrated CD-DVD drive on the right side as you're looking at the screen. It works just fine. I hope that answers your question. Ron

This is a desktop optical drive. Buy a external usb dvd drive if you want something external.

Yes, there is a CD drive. I believe it takes DVDs also. It is on the front.

It has a DVD RW drive, but I haven't used it yet so can't tell you how well it works.

It is a cover with a SATA socket inside and USB outside. I bought one when my lap top motherboard gave in. I removed the hard drive, slipped it in the cover and copied all data to my new laptop. BestBuy geek squad would have charged about 85 dollars for that. It would be nice to get a hard drive for this price. :-))

Drive is powered by the computer (device) it is attached to. There is not external power or plug to attach one.
