Does this have an "optical drive type"? A drawer for CD's on the side. Have a back-lit keyboard? Can I get this in some other color?

No space for optical drive. You can add an external drive with no issue and they are inexpensive. It has a backlit LED Keyboard and I don't think this unit comes in any other color. From what I have figured out based on available units, the Cold Steel is for touch screens, the polar Black is on non Touch.

There is a hard drive and a DVD. DVDs I suppose are considered optical as they use laser light to read the data. If there is a new hard drive technology that is considered optical, I don't know. Best to check the Dell web sight for best information. They sometimes have a quick chat expert that is very good at these questions.

Unfortunately, no. There was one in the previous model however. Get one of those if an optical drive is critical to your requirements. I use a portable hard disc drive as a substitute.

This is the super slim, or Ultraslim, whatever they call it. The one that has the sliding disk tray door rather than a slot load optical drive. If you zoom in on the picture you can see it in the lower left.

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.

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.

No there is no cd/did drive. Being an Ultrabook, it is designed to be super light and portable so a portable would be needed if you're using disc's.

No, there is no CD/DVD drive. It's an ultra small form factor. You can certainly use a USB drive if you need that functionality. I've seen a Lenovo specific one that mounts right to the adapter plate that mounts the workstation.

No built in DVD/CD media drive but it has two USB 3.0 ports you can connect an external blu ray/DVD/Cd Drive if you plan or want to connect other devices you may want to purchase a 3.0 hub for additional ports because it uses one for the keyboard/Mouse Wireless USB stick so you only have one available port to use.

No, it does not have an optical drive. Only USB ports to use thumb drives. Or, if you really need an optical drive, I bought a portable external DVD-R drive that plugs into the USB and works like a charm for less than $100. Never use it much, but I have it if I ever need it. Not including an internal optical drive helped allow HP to keep this laptop SUPER thin and lightweight. I have learned to use USB thumb drives for about everything. Love this laptop!

Yes, it has an optical drive. While I did not use that I am almost certain it is a DVD drive; perhaps even DVD RW drive.

Yes, that particular model comes w/an optical drive, CD/DVD burner. Positive.

No it is not backlit. My husband has an asus g60vx that has a backlit keyboard. I return the computer in question because it didn't have a dvd/cd drive.

There is no optical drive in this laptop. You can get a cheap USB DVD/CD combo drive for somewhere around $30. Make sure that you take that into consideration when comparing prices, if having an optical drive is important to you. You can try this option from Samsung, but there are definitely other options out there: Samsung USB 2.0 Ultra Portable External DVD Writer Model SE-218CB/RSBS

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=3a045be90ec2006237e367be92fca0a1π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1405034895&sr;=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1
