A:Answer Yes, this model has a disk drive for DVDs and CDs. Given the setup you're most familiar with, we recommend perhaps considering either a new desktop, or perhaps an all-in-one desktop (where the computer parts are built into the back of a display). A 17" would be the closest to the size you're familiar with, but the change in viewing angle and hand placement may be a bit jarring. You can still use a mouse with a laptop, of course.
