Small form factor notebooks does away with optical drives. 11.6"-14" usually does not include them. If optical drives are important to you then you will have to find laptops under 15.6" screen size range. Of course those are bigger and heavier notebooks, and are +$200 more expensive. If you regularly use an optical drive with your work flow, portability, light weight etc. then you could get one of those external optical drives http://www.amazon.com/Epartsdom-External-CD-RW-Combo-WriterBlack/dp/B00E6GWEG2/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1391377533&sr=1-1&keywords=external+optical+drive+usb+3.0

No, there is no disk drive. I thought that that would be a major set-back, but I hadn't realized I hardly use disks of any kind anymore. I download music online, and watch movies either via Netflix or on my TV. Having no disk drive makes this incredibly light and portable.

It being a netbook, no optical drive (CD/DVD) is included. There are three USB ports to allow usage of an external one.

Right, no optical drive in any Asus UL30.We hope to have inventory of the UL series at Amazon.ca within three weeks. Some of the UL models will be available with a bilingual keyboard.

No optical drive, it does have USB 3.0 however. I think k you can get an external optical drive for pretty cheap on Amazon. This one looks like a good choicehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DBV28TG?cache=3a045be90ec2006237e367be92fca0a1π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1405034895&sr;=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

No, not with this particular model by itself- one would have to buy an optical drive to use with it.

Apple no longe puts Optical Drives in any of their computers. I still use them, so I bought a USB 3.0 external BluRay R/W player to use with mine. Also note that the internal SSD boot drive is only 256GB and is intended only to hold your System and applications. You will probably need external Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 drives to hold your work. If you don't understand what I'm telling you, please go to the Apple site and do more research about these machines.

there is no optical drive (DVD/CD), and there is no SATA port behind the plastic spacer! But you can add DVD capability by plugging USB external DVD drive.

There is no disc drive in this model. We are going to use an external disc drive if we absolutely need one.

There should be a disk in the drive try putting that in your tower cd drive . P.S. that's why I got a refund.

You'll have to have an extrenal CD/or DVD drive to do the installation. You can buy one on Amazon for a very small price. After that, you will NOT need to have the external optical drive plugged in.

The pen connects to your computer with USB cord. I don't know why you would need a disc drive... I use it with my ASUS Zenbook which doesn't have an optical drive. Hope that helps.

I do not own this computer, I bought it for my daughter. She really loves it. This is classified as an "ultrabook" which DOES NOT come with an internal optical drive. My earlier version from Lenovo is the same and I do not miss it. It is rare when I am traveling when I need an optical drive. I bought an external/portable drive for my daughter for her few installations or CD music. The loss in convenience is why the cost and weight of this computer are very nice.

There is no internal optical drive. If you want to play discs on this laptop you need to get an external dvd player.

No.I believe you can purchase an adapter for the optical drive location and place a second HDD in there. This will replace your current optical drive of course, so you would have to decide if that's something you can live without or you could purchase an external optical drive.

A optical drive is dvd or cd rom that you connect threw a usb or docking station. The tc4200 does not have dvd or cd drive on the unit. So you would need a optical drive.
