I'm Totally CLUELESS Can some kind person explain--does this thing have a CD drive so I could download/play games and other software on it? Help!!

one of the reasons why i bought it is to get away from optical drives and unreliable storage media. no more spinning disks, no cd's to worry about scratching. get a dual channel usb drive, fast class 6 sdhc cards, use truecrypt to encrypt data, etc.

You will have to purchase an external DVD/CD-ROM drive. AMAZON has several for sale.

THANK YOU! I've never heard of an external DVD/CD-ROM drive so I truly appreciate the advice! Thank you!!

So how do I get my games, clipart, and even movies that are on CD or DVD onto this little thing?

no it doesn't come with internal or external cd/dvd drive, but you may find info online how to make bootable sd cards and usb drives and put images of your software on sd/usb and download cd emulators.

Thank you--the "bootable sd cards" sounds like a more appealing alternative. I'm not wild about the idea of having an external CD/DVD drive--kind of defeats the purpose of this highly portable option. Thank you!

You need to install it but no I do not use the cd. I play it without being on the internet. It puts a i con up and you go to it and it comes up for you to play.

No. No cd/DVD drive. Most programs have online drivers so i haven't missed having a physical drive.

Good question. Wish I could answer it. I just play cd's on this system and it is great for that but I am of the older generation and just do not understand all this new stuff. Sorry I could not help you.

No it doesn't have a DVD/CD DRIVE. I didn't realize until after I bought it but I picked a decent one up from dell for less than $30

The one I bought in April (and am using to type this answer) has a CD/DVD drive but you asked this question a long time ago so I'm sure my answer won't help you but maybe it will help someone else.

There is not a CD-ROM drive. I do believe you can buy a portable CD-ROM at Best Buy, Target and etc that you can plug in to the machine from the USB port.

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.

Yes it does have a CD rom drive...however, I find that it works very slow. The computer in general also works slow.

Installing a game, Idk, but I do know from experience that it is not formated like a normal hard drive is, and will need someone with advanced programing experience for some features to work.

No 。it not include cd drive! On that place it a graph card! But u can change it urself ! Yes u can replace an ssd or add an Mini msata ssd!

that wasn't meant to be a YES, Amazon asked me would I answer the question, the YES was to say YES I could answer. I can't imagine how you can get the CD and Game onto your computer if it doesn't have a CD drive. If this game came as one of Amazon's download games, would be great. As far as I know, you can't play it without installing it and that you can't do without a CD drive. Hope that helps

No it does not... in fact it doesn't have a cd or dvd drive at all. That's what make it so light and portable...like a macbook air. Most people just use USB sticks now anyways :)

Does not have a CD rom drive. I would not recommend this PC, Don't make the same mistake I did.

You need to install a hard drive, the memory, and then drivers on the machine and then you will need to install an operating system - I highly suggest getting an external CD/DVD Drive.

it comes with very little software but there is a cable with it. You need to buy the games separate, they are not cheap, try craiglist! lol

This specific model does not come with a cd/DVD burner. However, you can utilize one of the USB ports and attach an external cd/DVD burner. Also, please realize this specific model does not come with a disc reader, so there is no way of playing your cd's, or uploading any data via disc. Just thought I would point that out before you purchase!
