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 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 3.1, 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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. Based on the product specifications reference (PSREF), the Lenovo Ideapad 1i model 82QD00DHUS doesn't have an optical drive (CD player); however, an external optical drive can be connected via the USB port if needed.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Under Features, at the bottom, in large, bold type, it specifically states, "This laptop does not include a built-in DVD/CD drive." I think this related to the invention of something called "reading."
