Question 1

does this laptop have a cd drive of some sort?

Accepted Answer

No is does not.  But an inexpensive external CD drive can be added and simply plugged into one of the USB ports.

Question 2

Does this laptop have a DVD Drive?

Accepted Answer

This does not come with a DVD/CDRW drive, however you can get an external drive relatively inexpensive that connects through a USB port.

Question 3

does this model have an actual dvd drive?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not. It has the capability for one to be installed, but Acer does not make one for this model and anything you buy will be aftermarket and therefore will not match the laptop.  I bought this for my sister and she ended up buying an external DVD drive that she plugs into the USB port when needed.

Question 4

Here the listed cpu is i5-4210U, but manufacture's webpage says this model has i5-4210M, can someone please confirm with me which one is on this laptop?

Accepted Answer

I have this laptop and just looked in the task manager.  Windows lists it as the 4210U.

I must say though that I don't recommend this laptop.  The trackpad is so incredibly sensitive my wife gets mad at it and refuses to use it.  It took me a week, and now I can make it work most of the time.

The wifi card randomly disconnects from my router, none of my other devices have this issue. I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled the latest but it still does it.

This laptop is cheap for a reason:(

Question 5

does it have a touchscreen?

Accepted Answer

No it does not have a touch screen.

Question 6

does it has dvd reader?

Accepted Answer

No. I did not realize when I bought it, but it does not have a CD/DVD drive at al.

Question 7

Does this unit have a dvd burner?

Accepted Answer

No it does not. This notebook has no optical drive of any kind. You would need to use an external optical drive with it if that is desired.

Technically, there is a position and a connector for one internally, but you would need to have the proper drive and bezel in order for such an installation to look proper. But the reality is that optical drives are used less and less by most people as content is downloaded more often than not or brought to the system via a flash drive. Same thing goes for video content.

Question 10
