However, they do include a lovely cosmetic slot molded into the case to make it look like there's one there. Perhaps you saw those and thought they really include optical drives?
Dell is most likely to be my choice for a desktop. I was OK (not happy, but OK) with the prices of the models that seem to have specs comparable to what I haven now, and those did offer the optical drive option.

Probably a dumb question, but can someone tell me what it means when the computer has, e.g., 256GB solid state drive and 1TB hard drive? I thought it was one or the other.
