Question 1

does it have an optical drive?

Accepted Answer

No it does not, but I purchased a light weight portable drive for those needs. I am still very happy with the choice.

Question 2

Does the laptop come with the Windows CD, or does it have the factory image in itself?  Or, does it come with the recovery disk?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't come with the disc or a recovery.  However a recovery "disc" can easily be made on a 32GB thumb drive. It is extremely easy to do and I highly recommend it....along with the laptop. It is my favorite laptop by far.

Question 3

Is it possible to get this laptop with Windows 7?  My current laptop has 8 and I hate it.

Accepted Answer

I understand that 7 will not have needed drivers. The solution is to buy "classic shell". This is a solid laptop. classic shell has been a real winner. It simulates 7 better than the real windows 7! We have two with the higher rated "Gdata" virus and maintenance program. we are keeping these machines for a long time!

The only problem has been that there is no light indicator for when number lock is on it messes up my login password entries.

Question 4

what is the weight of it, please?

Accepted Answer

It is rather light weight. I bought ours for our 9 year old son and he doesn't complain about the weight at all...I would have to say it weights approximately 4 or 5 lbs if that.
