Where is the optical drive?

Going to burn a dvd but don't know where it is.

On the front at the top, where optical drives are normally found.

Hit the eject button and it will pop out. There is no physical button on the machine to make the tray eject.

To further clarify this, the eject button is the top right key in the QWERTY section of the keyboard.

That only works if you have a mounted device selected. Doesn't work if there's no disc in the drive...

I guess this is a prime example of why Apple has taken to removing the optical drives from their computers
