What is on the disc and what kind of computer or operating system is necessary to run it? Are batteries needed?

yes it is a battery operated device. I am not sure what is on the disk. I have used these devices in the past and am familiar with their operation. I assume the disk explains how to use it. these devices if used as instructed are very effective in teaching you how to relax and they are very effective.

The disc is just relaxing music and sceens.... No batteries..... it doesn't work with the computer... you have ear buds and you try to control the sound... taking to nothing ... it's hard but can be done

the disc is a cd, and a pleasant man's voice instructs you how to relax or "talks you through" the process of deep relaxation; he tells you what you're going to do then "together" you do it. very easy. In about 4 times you get the hang of it and can do it without the cd, although having the cd available to "reinforce" what you've learned when things are really bad is a good thing to have. I listen/ed to it on my cd player and my mac computer. Batteries are needed for the GSR device itself.

You need to use an external USB DVD player. It is a great computer. Boots almost instantly. Very fast and powerful.

No...this has no cd or dvd built in to it...you have to use an external drive

No - I recommend getting either an external DVD/CD reader, or an external hard drive such as a Western Digital passport that you can store larger files such as installation media, etc. and run those from the external drive.

It is an external device. I don't remember exactly but I don't even think the computer came installed with the software to run the device. I believe I had to install it post shipment.

Netbooks aren't made for gaming, most games nowadays take at least 2-3gigs of ram to run, and I've never seen a netbook with a disc drive so dvds are out of the question.

Mine came with a CD ROM that had to be loaded as software for this device to work, so it requires a compatible operating system to function. CC machines might not have compatible OS, or a way to load the software.

The games a little kid would play should probably run fine on this. Flash games that you find on websites should also have no trouble. However, if they require a CD or DVD for installation, then you might have trouble since these laptops all lack those optical drives. Dont expect to play any "serious" games on it, though (the kind an older kid would want).

NO, it is barebone so it needs a hard drive and memory. It requires an operating system as well whether you want to go open source with Linux or use Windows. I

No disc necessary once you install it. When you update, you have delete the program and then download and install the update.

No disc was included. If reinstallation is necessary you would have to download it.

Very few laptops have CD/DVD drives anymore. Most software is available as a download. If you must install from a CD/DVD then you would need an external drive that plugs into the USB port.

The download runs perfectly. I use Wondows 8 at work. I do not know how the disc will run.

Just plug in the power adaptor, put in a disc and turn on. Other features require reading the manual and plugging things in and setting menus.
