Since the Aspire One is Acer's Netbook series there is no CD drive on any of the models in this line. A netbook, unlike a laptop or notebook, is generally under 3 pounds, has a 12" or smaller monitor and a low power processor suited for web browsing but not large programs or games. Netbooks are significantly cheaper due to this fact, but in all reality they could not include a CD drive and remain a netbook as the addition would add too much weight and alter the size specifications, which is truly what defines a netbook.
