Does this computer have a cd rom on it null

The ASUS Vivobook 14 (X1404ZA) does not come with a built-in CD-ROM drive.

No. 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 HDDs, SSDs, or pen/flash drives on a per-centimeter basis. 3. With the advent of fast network connectivity, cloud storage, software distributed via the Internet, and USB 3.0 (and now USB 3.2, quadrupling the raw link speed to 40 Gbps), integrated optical drives have largely become obsolete. Should you need an optical drive, they are still available, at a modest cost, as external, portable units.
