And some of them do offer optical drives as well.Īs a general rule though, you’ll notice that mainly the budget and the mainstream ultrabooks offer this feature these days, as the top-of-the-line products ditched them once again for a larger battery, for more powerful hardware or for a more slender body. There’s a pretty large selection of 14 and 15 inch ultrabooks available now in stores, as you can see from this other post. 14 and 15 inch ultrabooks with DVD or Bluray drives

In this post you’ll find a selection of my favorite external optical drives, with their particularities and places where you can find them discounted. These things cost between $30 to $100 dollars and they are slim and light, thus you can easily throw them in your bag and only connect them when needed. Still, if you really need a compact ultrabook and the optical drive, you can easily buy an external DVD or Bluray unit that you can connect to your laptop via USB.

The Sony Vaio S13, the Sony Vaio Z, some Toshiba Porteges, the HP Elitebook 2570p, plus some of the Dell and Fujitsu business notebooks meet these requirements. There are however a handful of business ultra-portables that offer optical units, but they are going to be either very pricey, or slightly thicker and heavier than an ultrabook. There’s simply no room for it inside the small bodies and producers decided to make the computers slimmer and use the space for other things. Right now t here are NO ultrabooks with 13.3 inch screens or smaller that also offer an integrated optical drive.

Ultrabooks with Optical drives are a rare breed, but you can still find a bunch of them in stores 13 inch or smaller ultrabooks with optical units
