does this only work on computers without dvd/cd drives

Yes, that is the purpose of the device. It plugs into a usb port for data and also another usb port for power.Works great, just need two usb ports free. As to Windows 8, I have had no problems.

All I know is it doesn't work with windows 8, and I have not been able to get ahold of anyone to return

Yes, it supports Microsoft Office, but there is no CD/DVD drive. You would need an external DVD

All I know to say is try it. It works with USB to hook to my computer. And I can put a DVD or CD into the computer and play it. I don't have an external drive.

Yes it works without the computer. But I have to caution you regarding buying this product. I bought two of them so far. They work for an year or so and it stops working. I have two of them and I can give them you free to you. just pay for postage.

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 dvd/cd drive. I am assuming that it can burn cd/ dvds. Id be very surprised if it couldn't. I bought the computer for my dad so i've only used it a few times while setting things up for him. But its a nice computer.

Yes to all your items. there is a newer version of this, much thinner and lighter but no DVD drive

No it does not. You don't need any software as you are only connecting devices as external drives. It works like a charm!

No, you'll need a PC to have any functionality. It's a simple external DVD "Drive" and not a "player" of any sorts.

No, this laptop is in a class called "Ultrabook," there is no drive for playing CDs or DVDs.

There is a chance it will work without the CD, but it may not. Windows may "see" the hardware and install the driver. However, I would recommend trying the vga port before you buy this one.

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

No, it does not have a CD/DVD drive installed. It can work with a portable USB drive in a very limited way to read CD and DVD disks but cannot write to them.

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

No it doesn't. You would need to buy an external dvd drive. You won't need any special adapters or anything though; the external dvd drives will plug into a usb port.

No, it does not. You probably want to look at Laptops rather than a Netbook for a dvd/cd drive.
