Disc Drive? Does this even have a disc drive? I havent seen any specifications on that. I was hoping I would be able to watch DVDs on this....

No disc drive, but I bought a Patriot brand 16gb sdhc memory card for around $35 with s/h. Its big enough to copy a dvd onto it (with plenty of room to spare) & it doesn't take up any extra space like a portable dvd drive...ideal for watching dvd's in the car or on an airplane.

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.

It doesnt not include an optical drive for DVDs/CDs. You will need to purchase an External Drive.

You cannot play conventional DVDs on it b/c it lacks a DVD drive, but you do have other options - 1. Attach an external DVD drive so that you can play DVDs2. Stream movies from someone like NetFlix (I love this site)3. Download movies from Amazon (or some other site) onto the SSD "C" drive or onto an additional SDHC card which you can plug into the provided expansion slot.You can buy high capacity SD cards at reasonable rates. See Amazon's offer of the A-Data 16 GB SDHC card for $29.

This unit does NOT have CD/DVD drive however you can buy an external optical drive separately for about $20. Since I don't use the drive daily its really not a big deal not having it attached to the actual computer.

No, this has no DVD/CD drive. Most people don't need one. You would need an external CD drive, or a different system that included an internal cd/dvd drive to do what you're describing.

Yes it burns DVD, and no, it won't play Blu Ray, it doesn't matter if it has HDMI, it needs a Blu Ray drive to play it.

Yes, it has an optical drive. While I did not use that I am almost certain it is a DVD drive; perhaps even DVD RW drive.

No, it has a DVD SuperMulti drive. It will play DVDs, but not Blu-ray discs.

It does not have a built in DVD drive so you will not be able to out of the box. You could get an external DVD drive if you really needed it.

No. There is no DVD drive at all. You can buy an external drive (with Blue Ray) for about $50 or less to connect to this Mac.

This is a combo. It will read DVD but only burn CD. However if you contact us directly we can customize it for you with your desired optical drive without no additional chargeKind regardsCoretek

No, it does not, but you can buy an external DVD drive (~$20) which plugs into one of the USB ports, if you wish, for playing DVD's.

There is no optical drive. For some reason in the Optical Drive field Amazon says "Brand New with Manufacturer's Warranty". I think they meant to show this for the condition of the product, it has nothing to do with an optical drive, because there is none.

I don't know about a DVD drive, but I have attached my external hard drive with no fuss at all. It treats it like a memory card. I would worry about a DVD drive, though, needing an extra driver or two.

No unfortunately it doesn't have a DVD/CD drive. You have to buy it separately.
