Do MacBooks have DVD rom?
Of course! A Macbook can play DVDs! yes i have a macbook pro and it plays DVDs. It depends on the model. Certain ones, like the 2012 MacBook Pro I am using, still have DVD drives. My 2013 MacBookPro with Retina Display at home, on the other hand, does not. Apple has been making an effort to phase out DVD/CD-R drives on multiple MacBook models due to their size and the prevalence of streamed media.
Are macbook pros with a DVD player better then ones without?
It's all personal preference. If you feel you will not utilize the DVD player much, and want a little lighter laptop, then the MacBook Pro Retina variants (which don't have the DVD player) may be a better choice for you.
When is a new macbook coming out?
It has recently come out with retina display, upgraded performance, keyboard, touchpad, etc. and a retina display. Unfortunately apple has removed the DvD drive to reduce the thickness. The thickness of the Mac Pro retina is equivalent to the thickest point of the Macbook Air. But all those features make the price tag go above 2K.

Right now, the Macbook Pro with Retina display is the best Mac laptop. It has a 2.6GHz (or 2.8GHz) quad core i7 Ivy Bridge processor with 8GBs if RAM which can be upgraded to 16GBs of RAM . It also has a very vivid and beautiful screen, with a resoulution higher the HD tv's.

What is the best mac laptop please?
The very best Mac laptop is the 15" Macbook Pro with Retina display. However it is very expensive at $2,599. The 13" Macbook Pro with Retina display at $1,799 is just as good only slightly smaller. The negative of all of these is that they use flash storage which is not near as large as the 13" Macbook Pro without Retina display that has a price of $1,199 and a 500GB hard drive. They also do not have a DVD/CD drive like the base model 13". For this reason IMO the base model 13" Macbook Pro without Retina display is the best Macbook Pro and is also the cheapest. If you are a student, teacher, or government worker you can buy the base model 13" Macbook Pro for $999.
Can you watch a blu-ray movie on your MacBook Pro?
Not directly. Pre-2012 MacBook Pros had a DVD/CD drive built in. 2012 and later MacBook Pros that have Retina don't have an optical drive built in. So, to play any Blu-Ray movie, you would need to purchase and connect an external Blu-Ray drive.
Can you watch DVDs on the white MacBook?
As there is no built in DVD drive in the MacBook Air your options are: - purchase a separate DVD drive to plug-in to the computer - wirelessly connect to another computer (Mac OS or WIndows) which is able to share their DVD drive. - join the 21st century and watch a movie from online sources such as iTunes.

Is there an external DVD player for the Macbook Air that can attach to the macbook maybe a hard case that includes a dvd player or slot for expansion?
Yes, there's the Apple USB SuperDrive that plays and burns DVDs/CDs. It goes for $75 on Amazon. I'm not completely understanding your question, but I believe that is what you are getting at.
