can I play Skyrim on it? What would be a good, easy to install DVD drive to get?

Skyrim probably not I have an issue with photoshop cs6 extended plus the mouse acts up. Difficult with traveling and no dvd player sucks plus hp tech is bad

You can get an external dvd drive that you can hook up -- they are pretty cheap these days. Ofcourse, you could use another machine that has a drive and put it on drop box.

I don't exactly know the details off the top of my head but i can give an example. I can play Skyrim on the highest graphics setting with around 7-13 mods without a problem and no lag. Skyrim, especially with mods, takes a pretty good graphics card. It does have one TB and 8 gigs.

I don't know. I bought this for a friend of mine and he plays Skyrim on it. That is pretty video intensive, so my guess is that it would probably handle most of what's out there.

You could, if you bought an optical drive separate to put in this laptop. Ordered as-is, it doesn't come with an optical drive (CD or DVD-Rom).

There is no dvd-rom (drive) on this laptop. There is also no VGA connector port. I think that's the trade off for its lightness and thiness. Hope this is helpful.

You absolutely want a model with a hard drive (i.e. the 250GB model). The 360 is EXTREMELY loud if it's running games from DVD. If you install them to the hard drive first, it's vastly quieter. Games can also load faster from hard drive, and some games essentially require it, or are missing chunks of the game if you don't have a hard drive, like may have a disc you need to install first before running from the first disc.This 4GB model exists only to trick people into thinking the system is a bit cheaper than it really is. You effectively need the hard drive, and it's cheaper and easier to just buy the system with it already installed...skip this 4GB model.

This drive is too large to fit inside any Mac laptop (even if you have one that can accommodate an internal optical drive), so you'll need an external drive case. Make sure the case can accommodate a SATA drive (I imagine most cases do these days, but check anyway just in case). I suspect you'll need a case with its own power supply, the drive probably is going to draw more power than you can get over a USB bus.The other alternative would be to return it & buy an external DVD drive. You'd probably wind up with a smaller & more portable device that way.

No. It's an Xbox 360 game disc. Your PC (laptop) will only recognize it as a video DVD. If you don't have the game console, you won't be able to play this game.

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

The only DVDs I have loaded on this computer are a couple of video games. No problem there.

you should be able to do that if your lap top has a dvd rw burner, if it doesn't have that then you might need to look for another disk type, if your lap top can make disks, some of them just come with just a cd rom only. as for the free soft ware to download from youtube, I just go with the basic- http://www.ytddownloader.com/ YTD Video Downloader , but get it from their web site ONLY, other places might put in a virus or malware or some other bad thing.

I purchased a separate dvd drive happens to be by Asus and was only thirty buck. Also, thumb drives are ten dollars or less for 16g

I only own Skyrim, but the answer is a resounding yes. It runs it on ultra at over 50 fps easy, with only minor frame drops here and there. However, this computer does have issues. I recommend it to techies who don't mind solving a few problems for excellent performance.

You need to get a DVD external drive. I got the Asus drive and it works great and is small enough to fit in my laptop case when I travel.

If it has a usb slot you can buy an external cd/dvd drive and load it that way. You can buy one on ebay for about $20.
