RUN, DO NOT WALK AWAY from buying any DELL product on line. We received the computer, set it up and set the password for my 89yr. old mom, she forgot the password that was set and we called DELL to re set the password. Five weeks later and literally hours on the phone with them we still cannot resolve the problem. Our computer is now somewhere in Mumbai or who knows where and they are telling us it may be 2 more weeks. In other words they do not know how to re set a password. They will not refund our money or give us a new computer. Buy a computer from some place that you can physically go in and return it. Amazon said we need to deal will the manufacturer.

I don't play any games, but the DVD and CD drive work very well. Caution folks....the Mac Afee Security 30 day download they give you does not work as it said I was virus free and I had caught the "Tuvaro Service.net Virus" the second day of surfing the face page on msn.com. It gave me their head page and browser and pounded me with ads I could not stop until I downloaded "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to rid it. Thats my second problem with Mac Afee Security.........worthless!!! Hope that helps everyone!!

Yes, it has a DVD drive. I haven't played games on it (yet), so I can't give you a solid answer there. I will, however, say that the trackpad/button system seems wonky. They have embedded the left and right click buttons into the bottom of the trackpad like the Macbook. It's too sensitive. When I try to left-click, most of the time, it moves the mouse and I end up clicking on the wrong button or in the wrong place. It's frustrating. I'm planning on disabling the trackpad and using a wireless mouse exclusively. However, that makes it less versatile in places like an airplane or sitting on the couch. Yes, it has a DVD drive.

No, this does not have a Blu Ray drive. I suppose you can put in one if you want. You can play most modern games on it though.

It does not come with a DVD drive. It also does not come with a typical mouse. They opted for a touch pad. I purchased an external drive and Bluetooth mouse and am very happy with this computer.

Yes, it plays DVD's smoothly, with no jerking. I am sure most games would play fine, with the original 6 gb of ram...but if you want to use a super high graphics game, I would double that ram to 12 gb. It has two slots, so you would need two 6 gb sticks (it has two 3gb sticks in it, factory installed).

Yes it does have drive, you can play movie and put disc in your computers...

There is no dvd-rom (drive) on this laptop. There is also no VGA connector port. I think that's the trade off for its lightness and thiness. Hope this is helpful.

Hi Tyler yes you can play some games, but some of the games requires good video card and I believed these laptops should have 128mb or 256mb video on board so you have to check with your games what is the requirement Thank you

Technically it can, since it's a laptop DVD ROM drive in an external casing. The thing to remember is that it has a USB connection, meaning data transfer from disc to PC may be a little slow, so you may experience some lag depending on the game. I think this works better as a movie player/disc burner than a drive for a PC game. I have not played a PC game using this as mine is being used for an older netbook. I suggest matching up the computing requirements for the game with your computer and see if this DVD drive fits the bill.

No, there is no dvd drive. Just buy an external if you need to load something on dvd.

I would say it's decent for gaming. I have loaded Star Wars:Empire at War and C&C Generals loaded on mine and thet play perfectly. Display runs at 1920x1080 without any problems. My only complaints is that the fan will run at full speed when playing and sounds like a jet engine

It has a DVD RW drive, but I haven't used it yet so can't tell you how well it works.

This is a basic spec laptop. You can play games on it and have access to Windows Store but it is not a gaming laptop.

Yes, it has a CD/DVD drive. You will need software to play a DVD and I am not sure it comes in the std Microsoft package. I use: Sonic Cine Player DVD which is very inexpensive. I watch DVDs on mine all the time.

This drive only has a thunderbolt port, so if the game systems have that port then it's a go. This drive does not have a USB port

Because I've not tried to play games from a disc using this drive, I don't know for sure. Maybe you can. If you can copy the game from the disc (in the drive) to your computer, I suppose it is possible. However, copy protection might be an obstacle.
