No. I picked up an external pretty cheap. It's a little inconvenient, but it makes it lighter and more portable.

This package comes with CDs. You will need either a CDrom or DVD drive to install.

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

Unfortunately, no. There was one in the previous model however. Get one of those if an optical drive is critical to your requirements. I use a portable hard disc drive as a substitute.

Yes. As it states it comes with "Optical drive: 16x DVD+RW" which lets you read CDs and DVDs and also lets you write on DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. It just looks like it has no DVD drive because it is behind a blank black faceplate. But the little black space to the right is the open/close button.

Yes there is. Optical drives are becoming rare as ultrabooks are becoming slimmer, but this one does have one so that you don't have to keep an external optical drive.

CD driver ships with the motherboard, cables and I/O shield in a plain brown box - not a retail box

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

A CD/DVD drive is not included. You can plug in an external drive if needed. A good example is here: ASUS External Slim 8X DVD-RW Stylish Cut Design Optical Drive SDRW-08D2S-U/BLK/G/AS .Most PCs don't come with a good webcam+ microphone but this Vizio does. So, maybe you can justify spending $25 or $30 for an external DVD/CD drive IF you really need one!

No optical drive, it does have USB 3.0 however. I think k you can get an external optical drive for pretty cheap on Amazon. This one looks like a good choicehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DBV28TG?cache=3a045be90ec2006237e367be92fca0a1π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1405034895&sr;=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

no, I did install one, but hardly use it. There are some CD/DVD/BR that do not image correctly to the hard disk, but copy ok when duplicated from one drive to the other (like MS windows)
