Does this have a DVD drive?

Part of the definition of an ultrabook is that it doesn't have a CD or DVD drive. This is one of the reasons they're so thin & light. You can of course plug in an external USB DVD/RW drive at home (or higher-capacity USB hard drive or USB stick). If you need one on the road too, that rather defeats the purpose of buying an ultrabook, making it bulkier & heavier than the regular notebook with a built-in DVD drive you should buy instead.

No, this computer does not come with a DVD drive. I would not recommend buying this computer, as I purchased it barely three months ago and the hard drive already died.

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

No.. it does not have a DVD player, you'd have to buy an external USB DVD player.

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

No, it doesn't. You'd need to buy an external drive if you wanted to play DVDs through this machine.

I believe it does. I have the silver version of this laptop and it does have a DVD RW drive. If you select the second image on the main page for this laptop and zoom in by selecting the right hand side of the image, you will see there's a DVD logo visible, the logos are exactly what I have on my drive. Check with the Acer website to be sure but I would say it's almost certain that it does have a DVD/CD drive (but don't sue me if it doesn't, do due diligence). :-)PS: I love this laptop and use it in preference to my 20 inch touchscreen PC.

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

No it doesn't. You would need to buy an external dvd drive. You won't need any special adapters or anything though; the external dvd drives will plug into a usb port.

No, this notebook does not come with a DVD drive. Please see configuration 2320HPU instead - it's the same computer, plus it also comes with the Ultrabase (a docking station) that has the DVD Burner in it.

It does not come with cd/dvd drive. This was fine for my needs because I don't use them very often and it reduces the size considerably. When I need use a cd/dvd, I use an external cd/dvd drive which connects to the laptop via USB & works great.

No. It has no optical drive, making one more reason I regret ever buying this monstrosity of poor design.
