Do the new Macbooks have an built option to have an HDD instead of the optical drive? So i could have an SSD + HDD combo, that would be neat!

No. You can do it, but it requires purchase of some extra hardware such as Optibay. I did it and it's awesome, but the new Macbook Pros do not come that way. It's a mod.

If you want to learn more about it, probably best is to do a search on here for "optibay" and that will explain the process, and alternatives. Good luck.
