Just bought a Asus touch screen Model Q501LA BB15t03 and found when I got it home there is no direct disc load or Optical drive. Why? I just assumed it would have these -- can't even play DVD's or load some of my software??? Very disappointed in this laptop and will be returning it tomorrow. I even made a comment about playing DVD's and BestBuy sales person kept quiet....
How can a buyer benefit from this? I'm not totally dumb to pc's and the average needs of the owner. Any explanations, please.

I bet it was missing the floppy drive too!!! But in all seriousness it is fairly common these days for a laptop to not have an optical drive included as DVDs just aren't used that much anymore and it just adds to the weight.
