The optical drive may be a dying feature on laptops, but some folks absolutely must have one. It`s harder than ever to find a good laptop with this kind of drive, but not impossible. Whatever your budget or specific use case, there are still good laptops out there for you like the HP Envy 17t, which tops our list of best laptops with an optical drive.
Best overall: HP Envy 17t
With the Envy 17t, HP created a desirable laptop with a large screen, an optical drive, and just about every other spec you could ask for. It`s sleek, sophisticated, and surprisingly thin, considering it has a 17.3-inch display. Most importantly, you can slot a DVD into it.
Much of the hardware here you`d find elsewhere in HP`s premium lineup. The processor is a 10th Gen Intel Core i7, the graphics come from NVIDIA in the form of a 4GB MX250, and the audio comes courtesy of Bang & Olufsen. This is every bit the high-end laptop you expect, but it doesn`t command an incredibly high price.
