yes, it has an Optical Drive DVDRW (R DL) according to... http://www.cnet.com/laptops/asus-r503u-rh21-15/4507-3121_7-35536437.html

No it does not have an optical drive (DVD/CD drive). I have a desktop Win 8 machine in my home office. I shared the optical drive on the desktop and was easily able to install/rip software/music from that optical drive onto this Asus.

Not out of the box. It has no cd drive. You would need to buy a external blu ray drive

It does not include one. It has two bays that are 5.25 inches wide that you can purchase an optical drive for.

Hey Richard, thanks for your question. You can install a bluray on the computer. You need to pay attention to the interface(the connection) so when you buy a bluray, you can buy an external USB2.0 bluray disc. They are plenty out there. For the internal bluray, you have to look for a SATA interfaced drive and it has to be small factor. Then you will have to sacrifice the CD/DVD drive to fit it into this PC. SO ye you can install a Bluray on this computer. THanx

No blu ray, it is an optional feature for this model, it does have a HD graphics card

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.

No. It has no optical drive, making one more reason I regret ever buying this monstrosity of poor design.

No, it does not have an optical drive (dvd-r-rw). However, you can purchase an external optical drive that connect to the USB port for about $40.

No, it does not have any optical drives. If you choose to use a CD ROM or DVD drive, you must connect it via USB.

their website tigerdirect.com says "Optical Drive Blu-Ray Player", no mentioning of BD-RW or Blue Ray Burner. This is another BS from Asus actually, they should list each custom spec on their website. But they just put generic model information only.Same issue with Wireless ac, some has it some don't and can't be sure.

No optical drive, it does have USB 3.0 however. I think k you can get an external optical drive for pretty cheap on Amazon. This one looks like a good choicehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DBV28TG?cache=3a045be90ec2006237e367be92fca0a1&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1405034895&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

No this model does not come with an optical drive. This has a very good battery life. The ones that I have tested well over 4 hours and more depending on what was being used.

No. But you can use any USB optical drive by connecting it to the front header.
