Q: Is there an optical drive? When are manufacturers going to start making what people actually want?!

A: This laptop does not have an optical drive. More and more computers these days are shipping without optical drives as the push for Cloud storage and USB storage has been gaining ground. You can however connect a USB optical drive if you need to use one.

Q: Can I download google chrome? What offices does it have? Can I download zoom?

A: This ships with Windows 10 in S mode which is a version of Windows 10 that's streamlined for security and performance. To increase security, it allows only apps from the Microsoft Store, and requires Microsoft Edge for safe browsing. If you need to install non-Microsoft applications you will need to opt out of S mode. This can be done easily with an Internet search for how to opt out of Windows 10 in S mode.
