Floppy drives are becoming less popular while not only CD writers, but DVD writers. DVD writers are set to become even cheaper and more popular with the launch of HD DVD and BluRay disk formats.



A Floppy disk drive would not have determined the price of your computer, since they are in such low demand now.



It is possible that the computer does not have a floppy drive due to the development of DVD etc.



However, a lot of stock computers that are available in the market now have covers that conceal any unsightly buttons and plugs, leaving the CD/DVD drive exposed for efficiency. The covers sometimes can be hard to open so you might not have noticed it this is quite likely since its a modern computer.



Of course the best way to tell is to check the manual if it came with one (it should), or you can call HP or the dealer, tell them your computer model number/name and ask them if it has a floppy drive and its locations if it does.
