Is there a way to play a cd if the laptop doesn't have a cd opening or what that means? Something you can then at least connect externally via usb?

Why are many pcs and laptops built without them recently?

Ac

External CD / DVD drive exists. But it costs something.

ce

Yes with an external drive

Many don't have any more because fewer people use cd / dvds these days

Si

For example something like this:

Called itself an external CD / DVD drive and can be connected via USB.

We no longer built it because of it

- takes up a lot of space

- Consumes a lot of electricity in operation

- is hardly used these days

Drivers can be downloaded, Windows can be installed from a USB stick, films can be streamed… CDs / DVDs are becoming increasingly less important.

Yes, there are also external CD / DVD / BluRay drives.

Often we don't use it anymore because most people don't use it anymore anyway and you can save the money for it. This also saves a lot of valuable space in the device, especially with laptops.
