Yes it does have a CD rom drive...however, I find that it works very slow. The computer in general also works slow.

There is no optical drive. This isn't my first computer with out one - I've gotten rid of all my cd's and now stream everything. I hope that helps.

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

It does not have an optical drive built in. Dinosaurs, right? It will accept virtually any external USB drive.

No it does not have a CD drive but I have a separate CD/Dvd drive that connects via usb and can read any cd or burn with that device by usb

No, this does not have a Blu Ray drive. I suppose you can put in one if you want. You can play most modern games on it though.

It does not come with a optical drive(dvd/blueray). You can however get an external USB DVD/RW that will work as you would expect. Since most content is accessed online the need for optical drives is diminishing. This external drive solves both problems. If you do not need it at the time do not plug in to lessen your battery run time. If needed put laptop on AC power and use external drive.

No, the screen is brilliant and it does not have an optical DVD. I've had this computer for about 3 months now and all in all it's a great computer, It's been able to handle every program I've thrown at it, especially games.

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

The standard optical drive is a dvd/cd, it does not have blu ray support but you can install one that does. It will come with a battery and AC Adapter.

The one I bought in April (and am using to type this answer) has a CD/DVD drive but you asked this question a long time ago so I'm sure my answer won't help you but maybe it will help someone else.
