No, it doesn´t have. You´ll need to buy an external one, anyways most notebooks dont´have one anymore. Regards.

No. Like most other 11.6" notebooks this does not have a built-in optical disc drive. If you require an ODD, purchase an external USB 2.0 ODD and take it with you.

Almost all cases don't include optical drives, this one included. It does have a couple bays that you can mount optical drives to, however.

There is no optical drive (DVD-ROM). This is a small hard drive, but the idea is you keep most of your stuff in the cloud.

The unit replaces an exsisting optical drive whether it was a DVD or Blu-ray drive. If you need a blu-ray drive, I'm sure there are external blu-ray drives that would meet your needs.

Nope. No Optic Drive (CD/DVD) player. You can use an external, they range anywhere from 30$ to 80$.

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.

I set this one up for a client so I can't look but I am sure it did not have an optical drive. I buy Asus all the time, 13" & smaller - no optical drive, 14" & larger all have optical drives.

There is a disc drive but I'm not sure. This is not a good computer. The minute I got it was very slow and old. The price to have apple fix and update it was more than the computer itself

No, it's an ultrabook. Ultrabooks do not have internal optical drives to save on space and weight. I found all the software and entertainment content I use to be downloadable or streamable, however, so it hasn't been an issue.

No. Has no optical drive. Great machine for its purpose, but connections is not part of that. Only ports are three USBs.

No.I believe you can purchase an adapter for the optical drive location and place a second HDD in there. This will replace your current optical drive of course, so you would have to decide if that's something you can live without or you could purchase an external optical drive.

Yes if you remove the optical drive. You will have to purchase a HD tray/adaptor.
