It being a netbook, no optical drive (CD/DVD) is included. There are three USB ports to allow usage of an external one.

Better off using an external DVD drive. Just plug it into USB port and be done. Also I put an USB 4way splitter on mine and it allows for my mouse, printer, external antenna for wireless signal, and DVD player/burner to work all together on 1 port. I got DVD at Best Buy great price and they have several to choose from mine is 24X.

Yes since this laptop contains" 4 x USB 2.0 ports" and the DVD is external connection via USB this should work fine. Once connected the OS should install the proper driver automatically.

I use my external hard drive without problems, but my external DVD drive will not work properly -- keeps losing connection. Both are USB powered. My work around for the DVD drive is to attach it to my USB hub that has its own power cord.

Sorry no. It's just a standard DVDRW drive that's in-built. At least my particular model's is in-built.

there is no optical drive (DVD/CD), and there is no SATA port behind the plastic spacer! But you can add DVD capability by plugging USB external DVD drive.

I am not overly tech savvy but my kids watch DVD movies on this laptop so I am assuming the answer would be yes to DVD Drive.

1) You must use an external DVD drive. There are many on the market including some portable USB-powered ones.2) Yes.I hope this helps you in making your decision.

It does not have a built in cd or dvd drive, most ultraportables do not. You can connect and external drive through the usb port.

The box is plain cardboard; the DVD device itself doesn't say either. However, USB is typically 500mah maximum, and so far I haven't had any trouble using the DVD while the same unpowered hub has 7 other bus-powered devices connected, so it can't be TOO close to the maximum draw or things wouldn't work reliably. Also, there's a warning that if it's not sufficiently powered, burning speed may slow down (not fail), which mine has never done -- I get full speed with everything that reports a speed, and so far zero "coasters". AND NO, THIS DEVICE DOES ***NOT*** REQUIRE TWO CONNECTIONS. It has the ABILITY to take two connections, which is dubious because on MANY USB busses, all ports are actually the same electrical power connection. I have NEVER used the power cable on this drive at all -- Along with the tiny portable size, the single data cable, not needing additional external power, is one of my favorite features!
