Q: QuestionDoes this laptop have a disc tray?(2 answers)
A: AnswerNo. There are a number of reasons why internal optical drives are largely unavailable, though they can still be found, mostly (but not exclusively) in "hardened" laptops that look (and weigh) like bricks and are used in construction, emergency situations, and the military. There are a number of reasons for this: 1. Modern laptops (and desktops) are pushing to be smaller and weigh less, with many companies advertising their computers as “ultra thin” or “easily portable.” Optical drives significantly add weight (about half a pound) and bulk (12 cm diameter) 2. Even Blu-ray discs top out at 128 GB, far below either HDDs or SSDs on a per-centimeter basis. 3. With the advent of cheap flash storage, fast network connectivity, cloud storage, software distributed via the Internet, and USB 3.0 (and now USB 3.2, doubling the raw link speed to 20 Gbps), integrated optical drives have largely become obsolete. As mentioned in the other reply, should you need an optical drive, they are still available, at a modest cost, as external, portable units.Answered by luislast

Best Laptop - Excellent Performance and Value
I purchased the Lenovo Flex 5i 14" FHD Touchscreen 2-in-1 laptop for my middle schooler, including Geek Squad protection that covers accidental drops—perfect for kids taking their laptops to school. I opted for the Intel Core processors running on Windows OS over a Chromebook due to their superior longevity, performance, and features. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the purchase. After buying the laptop, I noticed the price dropped as it was featured as the Deal of the Day. I quickly contacted customer service via chat and successfully received a price match for both the laptop and the Geek Squad extended warranty. Pros: Full HD+ IPS Touchscreen: The 14" Full HD+ IPS touch screen offers excellent color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and high image quality. The resolution is 1920 x 1200, with a 60 Hz refresh rate and 300 nits brightness, making it a stunning display. Screen Size and Dimensions: The compact 14" screen makes the laptop highly portable, ideal for children. Weighing just 3.42 pounds with dimensions of 0.7 x 12.32 x 8.85 inches, it’s easy for my son to carry around, and he loves it. 2-in-1 Design: The versatile 2-in-1 design is a great feature. Lenovo has ensured that the laptop is well-equipped and durable, minimizing concerns about hinge damage, making it a worthwhile investment. Processor: Equipped with an Intel 12th Generation Core i3 processor running at 1.2 GHz, it delivers solid performance. Storage: The 256 GB SSD provides ample space for storage. It’s sufficient for most users' needs, including browsing, school work, and personal use, unless you’re dealing with large video files or extensive applications. RAM: With 8 GB LPDDR4 RAM, this laptop can handle everyday tasks, including software for video editing and gaming, with no lag. I’ve tested it with various programs, and it performs smoothly. Keyboard: The backlit keyboard is a great feature, especially in low-light conditions. The keys feel premium and the keystrokes are soft and comfortable. Ports: The laptop includes: Display Ports: 1 HDMI, 1 Thunderbolt 4 USB Ports: 2 USB A 3.2, 1 Thunderbolt 4 Memory Card Port: 1 Headphone Jack: 1 Thunderbolt 4 ports are faster than USB-C and support high-speed data transfer and external 4K displays. They also remain compatible with USB-C cables. Camera: The front-facing camera has a 1080p resolution, offering exceptional video call quality compared to the standard 720p. Battery: The 3-cell Lithium polymer battery lasts for several hours. Lenovo claims up to 9 hours of battery life, and despite heavy use, the battery often remains above 50% after more than 4 hours of use. Copilot: Windows Copilot uses AI to boost productivity. With Copilot+ PCs, you gain additional AI features even without internet access. Cons: None so far. Final Verdict: I’m extremely pleased with this laptop. It offers numerous features that many competitors lack, reflecting Lenovo’s thoughtful design. Best Buy’s competitive pricing means I didn’t need to check other retailers. I’m very satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend this laptop for anyone seeking a high-performing device at an exceptional value.

100% Worth It
Absolutely love this laptop. I don’t really use the tablet function - but it’s nice to have for sure. It’s a bit heavy but I don’t travel with it. 10/10 I recommended it to my mom and she bought one as well!
