A Laptop Mag reader plucked at my heart strings when he emailed me asking me if I can help him find the best laptop with a built-in CD drive. But there’s one problem — you’ll be hard pressed to find a laptop with such an ancient feature in modern times.
After all, they get in the way of laptop companies’ ultimate mission of making the slimmest, lightest laptops on the market. You think the LG Gram SuperSlim, the world’s thinnest laptop, could achieve such a feat with an optical drive inside? Not a chance! Plus, there’s very little need for CD drives nowadays — everything can be downloaded and streamed digitally.
