No DVD or optical disc of any kind. And yes, it's more than powerful enough for regular office suite stuff like word processing or even advanced stuff like image editing. It's not a gaming rig, but for any typical desktop use its more than adequate.

no, it does not. I use mine mostly for video streaming and picture viewing in my network. some word processing and Excel spreadsheets manipulation. The computer response to all these tasks is really excellent. No lags or freezing whatsoever. I would not hesitate to buy it again. Good luck!

No disc drive but you should be able to use something via USB. Word processing should be fine. Did have issues with Windows 8 in this but have used it on others without issue.

No DVD/CD drive. Should work well as a word processor. I run Media Center on it. Stream video from network attached storage and Netflicks with no performance issues.

I had to buy an external hard drive with a CD/DVD, storage, and burn ability. I use the latest Word, Power point, and data program; they work very well and fast. I am very satisfied.

No, not at all! you have to also buy and install RAM, a hard drive, and Windows!

Yes Larry, i bought mine about 3 mnths ago, has a dvd/cd writer/player drive. Definitely a good bang for the buck in my opinion.

No disk drive in it. Facebook games, no problem. 1.8GHz dual dore I3. Great machine for the money:)

Hi Rami. Computer works just fine. The windows 8 interface really upsets my wife who is not so computer literate and can't seem to navigate her way around the system but it boots up very quickly and no freeze issues so far. My last computer with windows 7 had the blue screen of death and it was frustrating. Best of luck!

good computer but has a lousy video card which is part of the mother board so you can't upgrade. It won't let you watch DVDs', but you can watch movies from Netflix or other source. It works good for the kids to get school work and searching the web. I now have a Toshiba and am very happy.

Hey Michelle: I got one of those blue screens with all kinds of error messages on it. I could not go any further no matter how many times turned off and on the computer. The windows recovery disk did help, however it erases the drivers or software for your dvd drive and your sound and printer and all your other software like word, etc. The cd will work while the dvd portion doesn't. You will also need to buy a windows xp drivers disk which you can buy on ebay for about $10 in or to get your sound and dvd to work. Assuming you get your computer to work and it should, then you need to reinstall all your other programs including printer software. Best of luck, Elliott

Even when this is an awesome laptop, it haven't a dvd-cd burner. (actually doesn't have an optical drive). But you can buy an external one!!!

MO There is nothing wrong with computer works great! the one thing I don't like is it was a dirty machine they could clean it up a bit. make sure you ask for a power cord and I think I world get a refurbished one. think about it ?

Hi,This is a pretty good machine with no obvious shortcoming that I could find (I have this one for a few weeks). The best thing is this is one of the best buy for this price range. I will be cautious about the DVD drive thought - it seems somwhat flimsy./Abhijit

Not as it is, for it lacks an optical drive. You can separately buy an usb DVD burner, as I did.

first of all, DVD is one thing and Bluray is another, but to answer your question.. no, it only has a DVD player, and honestly wouldnt expect other way for a budget laptop

It doesn't have a DVD player, but we got around this by purchasing an external USB DVD/CD player from Amazon for under $20.00. Both the computer and the DVD player work excellently - we are very happy with our purchases.

Thanks David and Jay. Since I posted, most dvd's have looked excellent. The one I had judged it on before the post (The newest Harry Potter) may just be a bad disk. I will keep your recommendations in mind as I'm sure I will need to adjust for certain dvd's. I now agree that this is a great player and an excellent value.

To tell you the truth Jay I don't speak technical too well. I have no idea. And it was a gift for a friend, and Friday I checked to see if she had it set up yet, and she said Not YET.My computer is about the same as this one - also a DELL. There is a DVD reader but I don't know anything more than what the description gives us,, and that mine works okay. If you want to email me and explain exactly what you are looking for, please feel free.

My acer aspire model AOA 150 1178 came with windows 8.1 For making movies I searched and found Microsoft movie maker. It did not came pre-installed, but available for free download from Microsoft. But burning CD is a problem. First this laptop does not come with DVD player. You need to buy external DVD player. Second, software which was on Win 7 is gone. For win 8.1 you need to buy something like Nero.

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.
