yeah, i bought this drive and it works perfectly with the laptop. It takes 2 of the 3 usb ports, but is great for loading software onto it.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006DUDWXI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

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.

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

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.

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

I got the Toshiba-branded multidrive from a Radio-shack, and it works, but I'm sure any external burner will do. The only thing to remember is that Windows Explorer won't list the drive unless you stick some media in - even a blank disc.

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

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!!!

We also bought a Samsung Slim extermal CD/DVD/RW drive ($20) to go with it. Works great!

You can use a exterior cd drive through the usb port, and that will work just the same as if you had the cd in your laptop or desktop.

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.

Asus makes a decent, inexpensive external drive. I use this one:ASUS External Slim 8X DVD-RW Stylish Cut Design Optical Drive SDRW-08D2S-U/BLK/G/AS

There is no internal optical drive. If you want to play discs on this laptop you need to get an external dvd player.
