Hi,
It seems like looking for laptop with an optical drive and is under 13" is like trying to chase the end of a rainbow today-especially if you want to spend under $500 for a laptop. I blame Apple.
I've been trying to find a laptop that is no more than 12", has 4GB of RAM, SSD and at least two usb ports-bonus if it has an HDMI port and must operate Windows-no Chromebooks! Sorry but what will I do if my Chromebook can't get Internet?
I've already given up looking for one with a dvd-r/cd drive built in so now I've settled on the aforementioned features.
Any advice of some computers that come close to what I'm looking for? Where do you guys go to get laptops?
Any computer geeks that want to help?
Please help.
Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
