    Does the entire U series come without an optical drive?

    I was looking at the U line since it looked pretty nice for my sister, but noticed that one didn't come with an optical drive. And I looked at a couple more, but the specs didn't say whether or not they came with one.

    If there are a couple of models with an optical drive, what model number are they?

    Thanks

    The 14" models have optical units. U4xxx.

    The 13" versions are the only models within the U series that don't have the optical drive.

    u30sd has an optical drive... oddly enough, it's not listed on Amazon anymore...
