Where is the CD/DVD slot on the new iMac? It doesn't appear to have one.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

The new iMac hasn't got SuperDrive. You have to buy the USB SuperDrive or use Remote Disc

I have the iMac (intel) and mine is located on the right side of the monitor.

If you want to use an optical drive with the late 2012 iMac, you will need to buy an external drive. This adds to the higher cost of the newer version of the iMac, and if you intend to add RAM past the standard 8GB, be sure to include this in your initial order since the new model is not user serviceable at all.

Like stated it doesn't have one, No Superdrive. But you do NOT have to buy an Apple superdrive to have a CD/DVD drive for your new iMac. Just buy an External CD/DVD drive that connects by USB, Tray load type is best, and it will work on your Mac. And it will be much cheaper then the Apple external, NOT SO, Suprdrive.

well if you want you could even buy an external blueray burner and connect that rather hten a cd/dvd drive

they are out there
