Does this model have an optical drive?

No, it does not have an optical drive. Only USB ports to use thumb drives. Or, if you really need an optical drive, I bought a portable external DVD-R drive that plugs into the USB and works like a charm for less than $100. Never use it much, but I have it if I ever need it. Not including an internal optical drive helped allow HP to keep this laptop SUPER thin and lightweight. I have learned to use USB thumb drives for about everything. Love this laptop!

I highly doubt it has an internal disc drive. I don't remember because I returned it so quickly, because it was so painfully slow. It might have an external.

Almost all cases don't include optical drives, this one included. It does have a couple bays that you can mount optical drives to, however.

No it does not. I bought an external bluray drive for $80. Love the computer though. Great purchase.

No, no optical drive at all and no space for one. I picked up a Samsung USB DVD drive for about thirty dollars on Amazon. That does the job and is very thin to match this laptop.

It doesn't have an optical drive but you can simply buy an external USB one which is what I did.

NO, it does not come with any optical drive. I bought an external USB optical drive as an add on.

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

This model DOES NOT have a CD/DVD slot. One would have to purchase an external disk drive to attach to this computer.

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.
