There is no optical drive. This isn't my first computer with out one - I've gotten rid of all my cd's and now stream everything. I hope that helps.

No, it does not, just a CD/DVD-RW. I believe there was a mis-print in this or the RF510-S01 about having a blu ray drive, Amazon has since removed that from the product information.

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 it doesn't. you will have to use external CD/DVD. it is ultra slim (almost 1 inch or less), and there is no space within the laptop to add cd/dvd

No, the computer is a ultrabook and does not come with the CD or DVD drive. But the truth is not necessary

Yes it does. It comes with DVDRW (R DL) / DVD-RAM optical drive. Thanks, PCrush

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 it does not... in fact it doesn't have a cd or dvd drive at all. That's what make it so light and portable...like a macbook air. Most people just use USB sticks now anyways :)

Yes it does. Only thing this lacks is a Blu-Ray DVD drive. If you can do without that, then this computer is awesome.

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 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.

Yes there is. Optical drives are becoming rare as ultrabooks are becoming slimmer, but this one does have one so that you don't have to keep an external optical drive.

My HP Envy does not have an optical DVD drive. However, I purchased an external one from Amazon for around $50. It works great using a USB port, and I like that the laptop's weight is not increased by having one onboard.

Unfortunately No it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. Windows comes pre-installed, you can always wipe it up and auto-install the windows natively without a dvd . I'm genuinely happy with the laptop using it for about an year now, works great, feather lite.

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.

It has a built in disc drive.. mine however was broken when I received my laptop.
