Question 1

does it come wih an opitical  drive(can u burn/play cds??

Accepted Answer

I've read specification for this ( looks like already discontinued ) Notebook and could not find any CD/DVD in, instead it shows Card reader. Go on line and get Newegg and type this model and read for yourself !!!

Question 2

Does the laptop come with a Windows 8 disc?

Accepted Answer

No, most manufacturers only mass install their Windows OS to thousands of the same style laptops using the same disc image. If you want the disc image (the .ISO file) I believe you can find it for free online (be aware of where you get it from). Your best bet would be to do a full system backup of your laptop BEFORE you do anything, that way you still have a fresh install if something goes wrong.

Question 3

Is there a DVD RW on this laptop ?  I see no mention of it in the specs, or a picture.

Accepted Answer

No, it does not have a DVD-RW.  There are two USB ports on the right side, for easily attaching an external DVD-RW,

Question 4

Is this also a hybrid?

Accepted Answer

No, but is a touchscreen

Question 5

I need clarification on the DVD/CD drive on this computer.  The answers below seemed contradictory.  Is this included?

Accepted Answer

This Envy does not have a dvd/cd drive. Nor a vga input/output.  HDMI and USB only.

Question 6

Am I missing something?  Does this laptop even HAVE a DVD-RW? I missed seeing it not listed.

Accepted Answer

No...but you can get an external USB for about $20

Question 7

Can the HDD be changed out for a SSD?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, Every "new model" is different and windows 8 along with the UFEI BIOS and multiple partitions makes the process more difficult. we use a special software to make the process work.
