Does this unit have a cd/dvd slot? Does this impact anyone's work, or do you just get an external one?

There is no built in CD. You can use an external USB attached device. map a network share to a device that has a CD or if the information that you are trying to use comes in ISO format you can mount it as a drive. Hope this helps. If you need more details please ask.

No it has no slot for cd/dvd's. You will have to get an external cd/dvd UBS player. Amazon.com has them from $15-$80 . . . .

No, it doesn't have a slot for the cd/dvd insert. I use it to keep the kids movies in one place instead of all over the house.

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

As answered, no it does not. For loading software the external DVD's are inexpensive around $25. Not practical for frequent DVD watching, but not an issue if you've moved on to Amazon (or netflix and/or hulu). It also doesn't have an ethernet connection, so I needed to look up troubleshooting the wireless connection* on a second computer. To be honest I've wondered in the past why these features stick around, but they weren't things I checked before buying. Actually, those are available for $10 to $25 also, one with USB Ports would make a 'docking' station for a keyboard and mouse.* Setting power saving mode to max performance resolved the issue.

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.

This unit does NOT have CD/DVD drive however you can buy an external optical drive separately for about $20. Since I don't use the drive daily its really not a big deal not having it attached to the actual computer.

No, the laptop does not have a CD /DVD drive. You are able to connect an external one to the laptop, if that helps.

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.

It comes with backup utility, but you'll need to supply your own CD\DVD drive. AFAIK it does not include an actual backup partition. Mine is currently unplugged, while I play with an alternative, but I seem to remember this being an issue.Now that I plugged it back in there is a backup partition on the drive. You can access it by hitting <alt> F10 during bootup.

No it does not, which has been a bit of a hassle as I don't have an external CD drive. Our other computer does have one though so I am able to get by downloading files on our other PC using its CD/DVD drive and then using our home network transfer to the Toshiba laptop

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 will need an external cd/dvd drive. There is not an internal one in this model.

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!
