No, the Retina display model does not have a DVD-ROM drive. You can buy an external drive if need be.

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.
The only disadvantage to a Macbook Air is the fact that is does not have a CD/DVD drive, nor does it have the Retina display. It also has less memory and it also costs just as much as a Macbook Pro if you get the 13.3" model. But it is lighter and thinner. If you use it allot when traveling and a size and weight are important then it is a good choice. I personally would buy the Macbook Pro 13".
No.], it has an aluminum unibody with black polycarbonate around the display.
The Mac Book Pro is better than the Mac Book Air.
